Report: Bears to sign LS Scott Daly off Saints practice squad
Scott Daly returns to Chicago after the Bears moved quickly to address rookie Beau Gardner’s early struggles at long snapper.
- On Tuesday, the Chicago Bears signed long snapper Scott Daly off the New Orleans Saints practice squad to address recent performance struggles by rookie Beau Gardner.
- Rookie Gardner struggled early in the season, including a high snap that led to the Vikings blocking a potential game-tying field goal, prompting Chicago to seek a replacement.
- Daly joined the Saints last week after Zach Wood was placed on injured reserve. Because New Orleans kept him on the practice squad, Chicago could sign him directly to their 53-man roster.
- The Saints must now find a replacement, with reports indicating the team expects to sign Cal Adomitis, though Luke Basso and Niko Lalos were previously worked out as options.
- This marks the third different long snapper New Orleans has used in three games, with Zach Wood ineligible to return from injured reserve until Week 6 at the earliest.
