Since we’re on the subject of the injury list, there has been a surprise addition to Chicago’s wounded. Just like Burton, last week’s hero Eddy Pineiro is listed as questionable. According to head coach Matt Nagy, Pineiro injured his right knee in the weight room on Friday. The extent of the kicker’s injury hasn’t been put out there, but it could make some nervous. Nagy is playing it cool and told the media that “we’ll be OK. We just gotta see how it goes the next couple days.”

We’ll see just how much faith Nagy has in his kicker’s knee if and when he’s put in a position for a long field goal attempt.
