Dayo Odeyingbo - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Participating in full team drills Odeyingbo (Achilles) participated in full team drills during the Bears' minicamp Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact It's a very promising sign for Odeyingbo, who only appeared in eight games last season before tearing his Achilles in November. Barring a major setback, it looks like there's a realistic chance he'll be ready to play a significant role on the edge come Week 1 at Carolina.

Impact Odeyingbo was limited to eight games during the 2025 regular season after sustaining a torn Achilles Nov. 2. It remains to be seen if the 2021 second-rounder, who signed a three-year, $48 million contract with the Bears March 2025, is limited at the start of training camp, but barring any setbacks, the 26-year-old should be able to reclaim his key role along Chicago's defensive line ahead of Week 1. Prior to his injury, Odeyingbo had recorded 21 tackles and a sack. The Vanderbilt product's career high in sacks came in 2023, when he recorded eight sacks in 17 regular-season contests with the Colts.

Officially placed on IR The Bears placed Odeyingbo (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Odeyingbo sustained an Achilles injury during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday. The injury is severe enough for the 2021 second-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of the season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 2026 campaign. With Odeyingbo done for the year, the Bears solidified their depth on the defensive line by acquiring Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round pick via trade from the Browns on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

With Odeyingbo done for the year, Austin Booker and Daniel Hardy are slated to see more snaps at defensive end.
