Limited again Thursday Odunze (calf) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice.

Impact Odunze was limited for a second day in a row on Thursday 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 on Sunday would open playing time for Kalif Raymond or Zavion Thomas.

Listed as limited participant Wednesday Odunze (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact After sitting out Monday and being labeled day-to-day by coach Ben Johnson on Tuesday, Odunze is 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 see more action on offense.

Seemingly avoids serious setback Odunze "should be all good" after leaving Thursday's practice with an apparent right leg injury, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact 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.

Sustains apparent leg injury Odunze sustained an apparent right leg injury during Thursday's practice session, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.
