Tackle Jermon Bushrod is reportedly set to announce

his retirement.Jane Slater of NFL Media reports that Bushrod will make the announcement during Thursday night’s final preseason game. Bushrod is expected to sign a one-day contract with the Saints in order to retire as a member of the team he’s been most closely associated with as a player.Bushrod was drafted by New Orleans in the fourth round in 2007 and moved into the starting lineup as their left tackle two years later. He started in their Super Bowl XLIV win over the Colts and was selected to two Pro Bowls before signing with the Bears as a free agent in 2013.Bushrod spent three years in Chicago and two years playing guard with the Dolphins before returning to the Saints as a backup last year. He made five starts at left tackle while Terron Armstead was injured and appeared in both of the Saints’ postseason games. Bears head coach Matt Nagy pushed back hard at suggestions that the team should have tried to run more offensive plays at the end of Sunday’s game against the Chargers in hopes of at least moving closer for Eddy Pineiro‘s attempt of a game-winning field goal.Nagy said he gave “zero thought” to doing anything but kneeling down ahead of Pineiro’s 41-yard try Womens Sherrick McManis Jersey , which went wide left to seal a 17-16 win for the Chargers. Nagy had a night to think about the decision, but he sent the same message during a Monday press conference.He said he would “do it again a thousand times” and that the miss hasn’t changed his opinion of Pineiro’s ability.“We love Eddy. We’ve got all the faith in the world in him. . . . It’s the NFL Charles Leno Jersey ,” Nagy said, via Kevin Fishbain of TheAthletic.com. “It happens. How do you respond to it? I’m very http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-joel-iyiegbuniwe-jersey , very comfortable knowing that if I’m in that exact situation again at that same yard line, I’m going to do the same thing.”Scoring more than one touchdown on five trips into the red zone would have helped the Bears avoid the need for a last-second field goal and finding a way to bump up that production should remain the primary focus in Chicago.
