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 hopeful that 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 this week before the Bears decide on his status for Sunday's contest, but at this stage, the the team is optimistic that the third-year receiver will be able to play through the leg injury.

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.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Last year's foot injury behind him
Coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday that Odunze has had no issues this summer with the foot injury that plagued him last season, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Odunze was able to play through listed ankle and heel injuries through Week 13 last season, but a stress fracture in his foot sidelined him Weeks 14-18 before he returned for Chicago's two postseason contests. In 14 appearances including playoffs, he posted a 48-749-6 line on 102 targets, recording 13 receptions of 20-plus yards along the way. As the ninth overall pick in the 2024 Draft, Odunze has a 51.3 percent catch rate (98 for 191) in his two-year career, but he's made up for it with 14.2 YPC. If the aforementioned foot injury is a thing of the past, Odunze will remain a key target for QB Caleb Williams along with TE Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden (groin) in 2026.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Big gain on one catch Saturday
Odunze brought in one of two targets for 18 yards in the Bears' 27-9 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
Odunze wasted no time making an impact, hauling in an 18-yard pass on the Bears' second play from scrimmage. The third-year wideout was targeted once more without success. Odunze is firmly on track for the highest volume of his still nascent career now that DJ Moore is in Buffalo. Projected No. 2 receiver Luther Burden also remains sidelined with a groin injury and is uncertain for Week 1, so Odunze is almost certainly not seeing the field again until a Week 1 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 13.
