ROME ODUNZE NEWS

Listed DNP due to foot injury Odunze was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury.

Impact 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 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.

Does little with six targets Odunze brought in two of six targets for eight yards during the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.

Impact 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 in Week 14 during the Bears' NFC North clash against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Inefficient with nine targets Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 53 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Two catches in defense-first win Odunze caught two of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.

Impact Odunze caught only one of five first-half targets but still led the Bears with 24 first-half receiving yards, accounting for a third of Caleb Williams' 72 passing yards before halftime. Williams was marginally more productive in the second half but directed only one pass at Odunze. Despite the modest volume, Odunze finished four receiving yards shy of Cole Kmet's team lead Sunday. Heading into a Week 12 home game against the Steelers, Odunze leads the Bears across the board with 39 catches for 600 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns on 75 targets through 10 games.

Good to go Odunze (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Odunze and DJ Moore (shoulder) both have been cleared to play after logging full practices Friday. They should fill their usual roles, with Olamide Zacheeaus working as the No. 3 receiver while Luther Burden subs in for Odunze/Moore at times.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Thursday Odunze (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact 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.

Misses practice Wednesday Odunze (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Odunze has regularly had his reps managed by Chicago to begin practice weeks, so as long as he's able to resume handling at least limited activity during Thursday's session, it will bode well for his odds of gaining clearance for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. The second-year pro bounced back with six grabs for 86 yards and a touchdown (10 targets) during the Bears' win over the Giants in Week 10, proving that he retains a valuable fantasy ceiling despite the unpredictable nature of Chicago's passing attack. He had previously been held without a catch Week 9.

Rebounds in Week 10 win Odunze caught six of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.

Impact Odunze bounced back from a Week 9 goose egg against the Bengals, leading the Bears in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday. He accounted for Chicago's lone aerial score with a two-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Odunze could stand to improve his game-to-game consistency, but the 2024 first-round pick leads the Bears across the board with 37 catches, 559 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns on 69 targets heading into a Week 11 road game against the Vikings.

Cleared to play Odunze (ankle/heel) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Odunze played through the same heel injury last week and somehow finished without a catch in a 47-42 victory over the Bengals. He's also listed with an ankle injury this week, but he was a full practice participant Friday and thus figures to handle his usual workload in terms of snaps/routes.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Advances to limited practice Odunze (ankle/heel) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact One of three Bears receivers on the Week 10 injury report, Odunze joined DJ Moore (hip/groin) in advancing from no activity Wednesday to limited participation Thursday, while Luther Burden (concussion) was a full participant on both days. Assuming Odunze is able to log another limited practice Friday or advance to full activity, he should be in good shape to play this Sunday against the Giants.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Odunze (ankle/heel) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Odunze logged a DNP/LP/FP practice slate prior to being cleared to suit up for Chicago's narrow win over the Bengals in Week 9, so as long as he's able to put forth similar activity ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants he should be able to take the field. Versus Cincinnati, Odunze failed to haul in any of his three targets. DJ Moore (hip/groin) also missed practice Wednesday while Luther Burden (concussion) was a full participant.
