Bears' Rome Odunze: Little volume in Week 1 rout
Odunze caught two of three targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.
In the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history, Odunze didn't get much of a chance to contribute, with Kalif Raymond (8-84-0 on nine targets) and Luther Burden (5-63-0 on five targets) getting more looks from Caleb Williams and the ground game accounting for six of the Bears' eight TDs. Better days should be ahead for Odunze, perhaps as soon as Week 2 at home against the Vikings.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Ready to go for Week 1
Odunze (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Despite being a limited participant throughout Week 1 prep while managing the calf injury that first cropped up Sept. 3, Odunze has received the green light to play in the Bears' season opener. Odunze should handle his usual starting role, and the Bears haven't provided any indication that he'll have his snaps limited as a result of the injury.

Bears' Rome Odunze: In line to play Week 1
Odunze (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Odunze made an early exit from practice Sept. 3 due to a right leg injury that was confirmed as a calf issue upon the Bears posting their first Week 1 practice report Wednesday. He proceeded to log three consecutive limited sessions, and Rapoport's report implies Odunze won't be among the team's inactives for the regular-season opener. Chicago will post such a list approximately 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's active, Odunze will join Luther Burden as the top wide receivers available to quarterback Caleb Williams.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Listed as questionable for Week 1
Odunze (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina.
Odunze suffered a right leg injury in practice last Thursday, Sept. 3, but after logging three straight limited sessions this week, he has a chance to suit up Week 1. His status for Sunday will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and assuming he's able to suit up, as he relayed to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic on Friday, Odunze and Luther Burden will be the top wide receivers available to QB Caleb Williams.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Will practice Friday
Odunze (calf) will practice Friday, and the training staff will assess him afterward before deciding next steps, Sean Hammond of The Chicago Tribune reports.
Odunze was limited the previous two days, and Friday's session gives him one last chance to upgrade to full participation (or at least make a positive impression on coaches and the training staff). Coach Ben Johnson didn't mention expectations for the extent of Odunze's participation Friday. If Odunze ends up inactive Sunday at Carolina, the Bears will be left with a shaky WR group alongside Luther Burden. The top alternatives are Kalif Raymond, rookie Zavion Thomas and Jahdae Walker.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Limited again Thursday
Odunze (calf) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice.
Odunze was limited for a second day in a row as his status remains unclear going into Week 1. Friday's injury report should provide some clarity, but even then, the Bears may not make a final call on Odunze until Sunday. An absence from Odunze this weekend would open playing time for Kalif Raymond or Zavion Thomas.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Listed as limited participant
Odunze (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
After sitting out Monday and being labeled day-to-day by coach Ben Johnson on Tuesday, Odunze was limited in the first official practice of the week. His status for Sunday's season opener against Carolina still appears unsettled. If Odunze is unable to go, Luther Burden and Colston Loveland should dominate most of the targets from Caleb Williams, while Kalif Raymond and Zavion Thomas would likely see more action on offense.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Won't practice Tuesday
Head coach Ben Johnson said that Odunze (leg) won't practice Tuesday, but the wide receiver is considered "more day-to-day," and the Bears remain optimistic he'll play in Sunday's season opener versus the Panthers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Johnson didn't provide many specifics regarding the right leg injury that Odunze sustained in a practice last Thursday, though the coach noted that the issue isn't an aggravation of the foot injury that kept the wideout sidelined for the final five games of the 2025 regular season, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Odunze will still have three more chances to fit in some practice activity before the Bears decide on his status for Sunday's contest, but at this stage, the third-year receiver seems likely to play.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Not practicing Monday
Odunze (leg) is not practicing Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
After Odunze exited Thursday's practice with an apparent right leg injury, the wide receiver is opening the Week 1 practice week with an absence. The Bears will release an official practice report Wednesday, and it will be a situation to monitor heading into the weekend for Sunday's season opener against the Panthers. If Odunze can't go against Carolina, Luther Burden (groin) and Colston Loveland would likely see expanded target shares, while Kalif Raymond and rookie Zavion Thomas would be in line for elevated snaps.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Seemingly avoids serious issue
Odunze "should be all good" after leaving Thursday's practice with an apparent right leg injury, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Odunze exited in the first hour of Thursday's session, but despite attempting to stay on the field, he was escorted off of it with team trainers. Wiederer's report seems to back up that Odunze's new health concern isn't a serious one, but he'll still enter Week 1 prep with a question mark regarding his status. With fellow WR Luther Burden also tending to a groin injury, the Bears currently have only Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas and Jahdae Walker as healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Sustains apparent leg injury
Odunze sustained an apparent right leg injury during Thursday's practice session, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Per the report, Odunze did not seem overly concerned about the injury and attempted to stay on the field, but the training staff decided to bring his day to an early end. His status will be updated again when more details are released, but as things stand both Odunze and Luther Burden (groin) are less than 100 percent. Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas and Jahdae Walker are next in line on the depth chart.
