Bears' Rome Odunze: Considered week-to-week
Rome Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.The report suggests Odunze should return at some point in December, with the expectation being that rest will help (he didn't practice at all this week) .The stress fracture helps explain his drastic downturn in production after a fast start to the season, though other factors contributed there as well. In Odunze's absence, the Chicago Bears figure to deploy DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus as their top three WRs against the Packers.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Ruled out for Sunday
Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay.There was no clear sign of trouble during last week's 24-15 win over the Eagles, in which Odunze handled an 80 percent snap share and 87 percent route share but finished with just two catches for eight yards on six targets. He likely was injured at some point during that game, as he hasn't practiced since and will now miss a contest for the first time in his NFL career. Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus figure to get more playing time in Odunze's absence, with DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet also among the potential beneficiaries in terms of target volume.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Another DNP on Thursday
Rome Odunze (foot) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.Odunze now hasn't managed any on-field work at the midpoint of Week 14 prep, allowing him only one more opportunity to mix into drills before the Chicago Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Green Bay. If Odunze is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus would be the main options to see work in three-wide formations.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Listed as DNP due to foot injury
Rome Odunze was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury.Odunze has operated with practice restrictions or sat out drills entirely this season due to ankle and heel injuries, so this appears to be a new health concern for the second-year wide receiver. His status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability, or lack thereof, as the Chicago Bears prepare for Sunday's visit to Green Bay. DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay and Jahdae Walker are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Does little with six targets
Rome Odunze brought in two of six targets for eight yards during the Chicago Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.Odunze tied Luther Burden and Colston Loveland for the most targets on the Bears on Friday, but Odunze was unable to do much with his limited touches on a day in which Caleb Williams completed just 17 of 36 passes (47.2 percent). Odunze has cooled off from his hot start to the regular season, when he logged a 20-296-5 line on 35 targets through the first four games. In the eight games since Chicago's Week 5 bye, the second-year wideout has caught just 24 passes (on 55 targets) for 365 yards and a score. Odunze will look to get on track Week 14 during the Bears' NFC North clash against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Inefficient with nine targets
Rome Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 53 yards in the Chicago Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.Odunze was second in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but his day could have been appreciably bigger with an uptick in efficiency. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout eclipsed 50 receiving yards for the third time in five games, all contests in which he's drawn at least nine targets. Odunze should be busy again in a Week 13 road matchup against the Eagles on Black Friday.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Limited Thursday
Rome Odunze (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.Odunze appears to be following a similar practice pattern to the one he's acted out since late October, which would have him participate in full Friday and ultimately avoid an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. Even if Odunze is limited again Friday, he appears to have a solid shot at being available Week 11. Fellow starting wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) also upgraded to a limited practice Thursday after having been a non-participant Wednesday.
