LAKE FOREST Kyler Murray Jersey , Ill. (AP) — a tough day for Cody Parkey.That might not be the case very soon.A day after Parkey missed two extra points and two field-goal attempts in a 34-22 victory over Detroit, coach Matt Nagy reiterated he has no plans to take a look at another kicker this week. But he acknowledged Parkey’s performance is only going to take on greater importance as the NFC North-leading Bears try to get back to the playoffs for the first time since after the 2010 season.“The end of this regular season, these are huge now. You got to make them,” Nagy said Monday, “and it’s just too important, they’re too crucial.”The most remarkable part of Parkey’s trouble against Detroit might have been how he missed the four kicks, finding an upright each time.After Chicago scored on its first drive, Parkey kicked the extra point off the right upright. He hit the left upright on an extra point in the second quarter. On consecutive Chicago drives in the third quarter http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/byron-murphy-jersey , Parkey rattled the right upright on a 41-yard field goal and again on a 34-yard attempt.“I don’t think I’ve hit the post four times in my whole life and I’ve been kicking probably for 15 years,” Parkey said right after Chicago’s third straight win.It got so bad that the crowd roared when the Bears went for a 2-point conversion after a touchdown later in the third. But Parkey’s teammates offered their support.“Everyone has a bad game every once in a while, so we’re going to rally around him, continue to have his back,” quarterback Mitchell Trubisky said, “and I know next week when we need it he’s going to make a big kick and we’re not even going to think twice about it. We’re a family in that locker room, we have each other’s back no matter what.”Parkey connected on 21 of 23 field-goal attempts and 26 of 29 extra points last season with Miami, prompting Chicago to give him a four-year deal in free agency worth a little more than $15 million. It included a signing bonus of $2.25 million and a fully guaranteed base salary for the first two years, making it unlikely the Bears will cut him.The 26-year-old Parkey has missed five field goals in 18 attempts this season. The empty extra points were his first two in 32 tries.Nagy chalked up the performance to a bad day.“You go back to a few weeks ago when Mason Crosby missed a few for Green Bay and then the next week he ended up kicking the game winner Andy Isabella Jersey ,” Nagy said. “It’s just a crazy cycle and it’s just a matter of your patience that you have with it and fortunately for us yesterday we did have the lead. … But now, he also needs to take the next step of trying to figure out how he can get better and we’ll go ahead and do that.”One way might be some practice time at Soldier Field, one of the NFL’s toughest spots for kickers because of its proximity to Lake Michigan. Nagy said they are discussing the possibility.How quickly Parkey can recover from his difficulties against Detroit could be huge for Chicago (6-3), which hosts Minnesota on Sunday night. The Vikings have won four of five and are second in the division with a 5-3-1 record.The Bears and Lions play again on Thanksgiving in Detroit, and Chicago also hosts Green Bay and visits Minnesota before the season ends. Asked about balancing support for Parkey with any frustration with his performance, Nagy said he believes in being honest.“I’m not going to sugarcoat anything and he wouldn’t want that from me,” he said. “So we’ll have our own conversations and keep it between us, but I’ll always handle it as best as I can for the team and for him and then just stick with my gut.” GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)A hip injury is threatening Mike Daniels’ ironman streak with the Green Bay Packers. The standout defensive lineman could be one of seven front-line players who might be sidelined for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals . Daniels hasn’t missed a game since his rookie season Clelin Ferrell Jersey , with 50 consecutive regular-season starts and 77 consecutive regular-season appearances. ”It’s definitely tough to not be out there and to know I’ll potentially not be out there (Sunday),” Daniels said. He hasn’t practiced this week. Daniels, along with left tackle David Bakhtiari (hamstring), safety Kentrell Brice (groin), receiver Randall Cobb (chest), cornerback Davon House (quad), and linebackers Nick Perry (hand) and Jake Ryan (hamstring/concussion) are listed as doubtful, meaning they are unlikely to play. The first six players on that list are starters. Receiver Jordy Nelson (quad) and right tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle) are questionable, though Nelson has been a full participant so far in practice. The status of injured players could change depending on if and how players make it out of the final practice of the week on Saturday. ”Hopefully Josh Oliver Jersey , we’re improving and really the practice lineup (Saturday) will tell the story,” McCarthy said Friday, which is a day off from the practice field for Green Bay. Daniels played only seven snaps before leaving last week’s loss against the Atlanta Falcons . On the final play of the Falcons’ opening touchdown drive, Daniels aggravated the hip injury that had him listed as questionable on last week’s injury report. ”Fortunately, I haven’t had to be in this position in six years now, and it’s just kind of jumped out of nowhere. It’s just a matter of getting healthy and doing everything I need to do to get back out there.” The Packers must also deal with a short turnaround after the Bengals game with a Thursday night matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 4. Bakhtiari and Bulaga, the Packers’ best two offensive linemen, were inactive against Atlanta. Nelson played only seven snaps, dropping out after cornerback Robert Alford’s knee accidentally hit Nelson in the thigh. ”Jordy’s progressing. I think he’s definitely moving the way we had hoped http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/quincy-williams-ii-jersey ,” McCarthy said. ”I anticipate him practicing Saturday and we’ll take it from there.” Cobb is the team’s leading receiver, while House is the team’s top cornerback. Perry, who had a team-high 11 sacks last season and recorded 1 1/2 against Seattle in this season’s opener, had surgery this week to repair a broken finger. —
