INJURIES
Rome Odunze - Cleared for Week 18 Odunze (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Impact Odunze returned to full practice participation Friday after an illness kept him out the previous two days. He had one of his better games of the year last time he faced Green Bay, catching six of 10 targets for 65 yards in a 20-19 loss Week 11.

Packers look to finish regular season by beating the Bears for 12th straight time

The Green Bay Packers will tune up for the playoffs by trying to beat the Chicago Bears for a 12th straight time Sunday
JANUARY 2 • Associated Press
Elijah Hicks - Doesn't practice Thursday Hicks (ankle/foot) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report.
Impact Hicks has been unable to play or practice since Week 16 due to ankle and foot injuries. He'll likely to be ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers unless he returns to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Kyler Gordon - Pops up on Thursday's injury report Gordon (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Impact Gordon was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but it appears he is under the weather as he was unable to participate in Thursday's session. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Packers. The 2022 second-round pick has logged 38 tackles (24 solo), four pass defenses, one fumble and one fumble recovery over his last eight games.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Travis Homer - DNP on Thursday Homer (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Impact Homer has missed the Bears' last two games due to a hamstring injury, and his consecutive DNPs to open the week doesn't bode well for his chances of playing in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Packers. Darrynton Evans would continue to serve as Chicago's No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson if Homer isn't cleared to play in Week 18.

Rome Odunze - Still not practicing Odunze (illness) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact With no activity to speak of yet during Week 18 prep due to an illness, Odunze has only one more opportunity Friday to mix into drills before the Bears potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at Green Bay. In his first matchup with the Packers back in Week 11, he gathered in six of 10 targets for 65 yards, which is his fourth-highest yardage total of his rookie campaign.

Packers vs. Bears Injury Report – Week 18, 2024
Travis Homer - Doesn't practice to open Week 18 Homer (hamstring) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.
Impact A hamstring injury has kept Homer sidelined for both of Chicago's past two games. The veteran running back didn't practice at all last week, and his non-participation to begin this week could be an ominous sign for his chance of returning for the Bears' season finale Sunday against Green Bay. Darrynton Evans could get a bit more work Week 18 if Homer misses another contest.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Rome Odunze - Comes down with illness Odunze was held out of Wednesday's walkthrough due to an illness.
Impact Fortunately for the rookie first-round pick, Odunze's status for Week 18 isn't in peril, as interim coach Thomas Brown told Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. Odunze will have two more chances this week to get on the practice field before the Bears potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Bears plan to have Caleb Williams start their season finale at Green Bay

The Chicago Bears plan to have Caleb Williams make one more start rather than hold their prized rookie quarterback out of the season finale at Green Bay
DECEMBER 30, 2024 • Associated Press
Caleb Williams - Expected to start in Week 18 Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown said Monday that Williams will play in Sunday's Week 18 game against Green Bay, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Brown also stated that all of Chicago's healthy players will suit up for the team's season finale. There had been some speculation that Williams could be held out of action given that the Bears have nothing to play for in terms of playoff contention and because the rookie QB has taken frequent hits this season -- Chicago has given up an NFL-high 67 sacks on the campaign. It remains to be seen how the Packers will handle their starters in Week 18 with the team having clinched a playoff berth and being unable to rise above the No. 6 seed in the NFC.

NFL head coach hot seat rankings: 'Black Monday' decisions loom for these seven
Tremaine Edmunds - Totals six tackles in Week 17 Edmunds recorded six tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 6-3 loss against the Seahawks.
Impact Edmunds tied for the Bears' lead in stops in the low-scoring loss. The veteran linebacker has recorded at least six tackles in each of his past four games. Edmunds is up to 101 stops on the season, marking the seventh straight campaign that he has reached the triple-digit mark.
DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kyler Gordon - Notches six tackles in Week 17 Gordon tallied six tackles (three solo), defensed a pass and recovered a fumble he forced himself in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Seattle.
Impact Gordon stood out on defense in the low-scoring affair. His most impactful play came late in the third quarter, when he forced a Pharaoh Brown fumble and recovered the ball himself. It initially appeared that Gordon recovered the fumble for a touchdown, but replay reversed the call and deemed the cornerback down by contact. Gordon has recovered three fumbles this season.
