Top Patrick Scales News

  • Patrick Scales: Works out with Pittsburgh

    Scales (back) worked out with the Steelers on Saturday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Scales spent the 2024 campaign on injured reserve with the Bears while dealing with a back injury, but appears to be healthy ahead of the 2025 season. The long snapper will now look to latch on somewhere to continue his NFL career, which began in 2014 with the Ravens.

  • Bears' Patrick Scales: Starting season on IR

    The Bears placed Scales (back) on the reserve/injured list Thursday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    The veteran long snapper sustained a back injury in early August, which kept him out of the Bears' last three preseason games. He'll be forced to sit for a minimum of four games, making Week 5 against the Panthers on Oct. 6 the earliest he can return.

  • Bears' Patrick Scales: Dealing with back injury

    Head coach Matt Eberflus said Thursday that Scales is sidelined with a back injury, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Scales has missed several days of practice due to the back issue, but Eberflus noted that the long snapper is "on track" to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bills. If Scales cannot suit up, Cameron Lyons is slated to fill in as the long snapper for the exhibition matchup.

  • Bears' Patrick Scales: Lands on COVID-19 list

    Scales was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
