Bears GM Won't Say If Parkey Will Be Back Next Season

(AP) -- Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace wouldn't say if Cody Parkey will return for another season, and coach Matt Nagy called out the struggling kicker for appearing on the "Today" show last week.

Pace was adamant Monday that the Bears need improvement in the kicking game. He also said "those are things that need to play out" when asked if Parkey will return for a second season.

Nagy, meanwhile, made it clear he wasn't thrilled Parkey went on the "Today" show Friday.

The appearance was just days after the kicker's potential winning field goal hit the left upright and crossbar in a 16-15 wild-card loss to Philadelphia caught him off guard.

The kicker's future in Chicago is in question after a breakthrough season.
