The Bears’ Choice To Replace Patrick Scales Is So On-Brand

The Chicago Bears managed to thread the needle between the start of training camp and the end of the preseason without any significant injuries. Well, for the most part. Unfortunately, their ageless long snapper Patrick Scales wasn’t able to maintain his uncanny stretch of games without missing time. A back injury sidelined him this past month and it’s gotten bad enough to where he will require surgery. This forced GM Ryan Poles to quickly pivot, trying to find help on short notice. The Bears decided to go with veteran Scott Daly.
