Top roster battles at the start of Bears training camp

There’s a lot of competition at several positions on the Bears’ roster. Let’s take a look at those battles happening in training camp.

7. Kicker

For the second straight year, the Bears will have a competition at kicker. Although it won’t quite the circus it was at this time last year when Eddy Pineiro beat out Elliott Fry for the starting job. Pineiro had a solid rookie outing, where he connected on 23-of-28 field goals (82.1%) and 27-of-29 extra points. But he also had a rough stretch where he went 3-of-7 on field goals in the middle of the season.

Still, the Bears felt the need to bring in competition for Pineiro with Ramiz Ahmed, who last kicked for Nevada, where he connected on 15 of 20 field goals (75%). This might be a competition in name, but this is easily Pineiro’s job to lose.
