Clear for wild-card round Odunze (foot) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Packers.

Impact Odunze previously was deemed active for a Week 15 matchup with the Browns, but a late setback with his lingering foot injury spurred the Bears to rule him out not long before kickoff. To end the regular season, he ended up missing five consecutive contests due to what has been termed a stress fracture in his foot. With a full practice under his belt Thursday, Odunze is in the clear to suit up Saturday, but how many snaps he'll be able to handle remains to be seen.

Limited again Wednesday Odunze (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Impact Odunze now has been limited on three consecutive injury reports going back to last week, meaning he now has only more chance to practice in full ahead of Saturday's wild-card game against the Packers. He's seeking his first game action since Week 13 and appears destined to enter the weekend with a designation if he isn't able to practice without restrictions Thursday.

Limited in walkthrough practice Odunze (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Odunze missed the final five games of the regular season due to a stress fracture in his foot, an injury he first suffered in Week 13 and then aggravated while warming up in Week 15. The second-year wideout took a step forward by practicing in a limited fashion last Friday, and he continued to maintain that level of activity while the Bears kicked off prep this week in advance of Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers. Odunze may need to upgrade to full participation by Thursday's practice to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend, but quarterback Caleb Williams suggested to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times earlier Tuesday that he's counting on the young receiver to suit up Saturday.

Sidelined again with foot injury Odunze was inactive in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Odunze missed the final five games of the season with a foot injury after finishing his second year with 44 receptions on 90 targets for 661 yards and six touchdowns. He posted four games with at least 62 receiving yards through the first half of the season before averaging 36 yards over his final five appearances. He just completed the second year of his rookie contract and remains positioned as a long-term building block if the passing volume expands in 2026. The team is hoping to get Odunze back for the Wild-Card game against the Packers on Saturday.

Inactive for Week 18 Odunze (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 game against the Lions.

Impact Odunze will thus close out the regular season with five consecutive absences due to his lingering foot injury. The second-year wideout was able to return to practice -- albeit on a limited basis -- Friday, but the Bears will continue to err on the side of caution in the hopes of having Odunze as healthy as possible for the postseason. Odunze will turn his attention toward upping his activity level in practice during the coming week ahead of the start of the playoffs next weekend, while DJ Moore and Luther Burden should serve as Caleb Williams' top two wide receivers versus Detroit.

Questionable after practicing Odunze (foot) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact The practice was Odunze's first since Dec. 12, which seemingly makes him a long shot to actually play. The Bears and Lions are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Another DNP on Thursday Odunze (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Odunze's next on-field work will be his first since Dec. 12 as he tends to a stress fracture in his foot. With Thursday's absence, he thus appears destined to miss a fifth game in a row to end the regular season. As long as Odunze is sidelined, the Bears will rely on DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay at wide receiver.

Still not practicing Odunze (foot) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Odunze thus hasn't practiced since Dec. 12 due to a stress fracture in his foot and appears poised to end the regular season with five consecutive absences. The Bears can make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game against the Lions as soon as they post Friday's injury report, and if he's ruled out, Chicago again may be short-handed in the receiving corps, as Luther Burden (quadriceps) was limited Wednesday after getting injured on the final play of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Meanwhile, WR Olamide Zaccheaus, who sat out Week 17 due to illness, was a full practice participant Wednesday, joining DJ Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay as the healthy options at the position on the active roster.
