Five weeks after Jake Moody’s 38-yard field goal gave the Chicago Bears a 25 to 24 win over the Washington Commanders, the Commanders have signed Moody off the Bears’ practice squad. The NFL Network’s
Tom Pelissero first reported the move.
The Bears initially signed Moody to their practice squad on September 12, just three days after being waived by the San Francisco 49ers.
Moody was elevated for a couple of games this season, and he was 8 for 9 on field goals and 3 for 3 on extra points in the Navy and Orange. While in San Francisco, he was 1 for 3 on field goals and 2 for 2 on extra points.
As a practice squad player, Moody was able to negotiate with any team as a free agent, and with the Commanders cutting Matt Gay today, Moody finds a new home.
This transaction will officially process on Tuesday, which leaves Chicago with one opening on their 16-man practice squad.
