• Bears' Keenan Allen: Won't practice Wednesday

  6H ago • By RotoWire

  Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Allen (heel) will not participate in practice, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. Allen missed all three of Chicago's official practice sessions last week, missing Chicago's loss to the Texans as a result. Eberflus said the team is "trying to get [Allen] back on the grass as soon as we can," but at this point it's unclear when a realistic target for the veteran wideout to resume handling practice reps will be. If Allen is unable to play Sunday versus Indianapolis, all of DeAndre Carter, Tyler Scott and Collin Johnson will once again be candidates to see increased roles behind No. 1 wideout DJ Moore and rookie first-round pick Rome Odunze.

• Bears' Keenan Allen: Not playing Sunday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen (heel) is listed as inactive Sunday in Houston. Allen was able to play through his heel injury Week 1 against the Titans, but the issue capped him to one limited practice session (Friday) this past week, leaving him questionable heading into the weekend. Earlier Sunday, though, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported Allen was trending more toward the doubtful side of the equation, and the veteran wideout indeed won't be available Week 2. DJ Moore remains the Bears' No. 1 option at the position, with Rome Odunze (knee), DeAndre Carter, Tyler Scott and Collin Johnson the other WRs available for QB Caleb Williams on Sunday.

• Bears' Keenan Allen: No practice, listed as questionable

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston after missing another practice Friday. Fellow wideout Rome Odunze (knee) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and also is listed as questionable. Allen's absences from Wednesday through Friday aren't the best sign, but the Bears at least are leaving the door open ahead of a 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday night. Allen dealt with the heel injury for much of August and aggravated it in the fourth quarter of a Week 1 win over the Titans.

• Bears' Keenan Allen: Misses practice Thursday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen (heel) didn't take part in Thursday's practice. Allen was able to suit up Week 1 against the Titans after going limited, limited and full on the first three practice reports of the season due to a heel injury. He's kicked off this week with back-to-back absences, but coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that the veteran wide receiver was getting the day off for rest purposes, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Position mate Rome Odunze (knee) also hasn't practiced this week, so Friday's report may be telling for the duo's odds to suit up Sunday in Houston.

• Bears' Keenan Allen: Resting heel injury Wednesday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that Allen will receive Wednesday's practice off to manage a heel injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Allen appears to still be dealing with the heel injury he initially picked up mid-August. He briefly went into the injury tent during the Bears' win over the Titans in Week 1, though he was able to finish out the contest. Though Allen will appear on the Bears' initial Week 2 injury report, Eberflus' characterization of the receiver's absence Wednesday as a rest day suggests that Allen's status for Sunday's game against the Texans isn't in much jeopardy. Meanwhile, rookie wideout Rome Odunze (knee) is considered day-to-day due to an MCL sprain and appears far less likely than Allen to play Week 2.
