NFL Injury Report Week 15 for Jayden Daniels, Rome Odunze, Tee Higgins on Sunday

ESPN insider shares optimistic Rome Odunze injury report for Bears Week 15 | Sporting News Rome Odunze could return in Week 15.

Rome Odunze Watch: New Report Has Bears "Optimistic" Wideout Can Play in Week 15 It turns out that Bears receiver Rome Odunze might be available for Sunday's game versus the Browns after all.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Optimism for Week 15 There is optimism in the Bears organization that Odunze (foot) will be available to play against the Browns on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Odunze did not play against the Packers in Week 14 due to a foot injury. He earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after failing to log a full practice during Week 15 prep, but it appears the second-year wideout is on track to return against Cleveland. Odunze's official status may not be known until the Bears announce their list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which would give fantasy managers time to explore their options in case the 2024 first-rounder is not cleared to suit up. DJ Moore, rookie second-rounder Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet would all be slated for more targets from quarterback Caleb Williams in the event that Odunze doesn't play.

Questionable after limited practice Odunze (foot) remained limited at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Odunze was a limited participant Wednesday through Friday after missing last week's loss to the Packers. His failure to progress to full participation could set up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with Olamide Zaccheaus set for a big boost in playing time if Odunze is inactive.

Puts in limited practice Odunze (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Chicago had estimated Odunze as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through session, but Thursday marked the first time the second-year wideout had actually taken the field for a practice in more than two weeks. Odunze, who is working his way back from a stress fracture in his foot, is a candidate to play Sunday versus the Browns, but he may have to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. The potential return of Odunze this Sunday would leave fewer reps to go around for rookie Luther Burden, who drew six targets and played a career-high 71 percent of the offensive snaps in a Week 14 loss to the Packers.

Listed as limited Wednesday Odunze (foot) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact After missing all three Week 14 practices and being ruled out for this past Sunday's game at Green Bay, Odunze was revealed to be dealing with a stress fracture in his foot that left him week-to-week, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Such a prognosis, even from an NFL insider, typically results in a multi-game absence, but Odunze's listing to start Week 15 prep indicates he has a chance to return Sunday against the Browns. How he fares in practice Thursday and Friday likely will be key in that regard.

Considered week-to-week Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL...

Impact The report suggests Odunze should return at some point in December, with the expectation being that rest will help (he didn't practice at all this week) .The stress fracture helps explain his drastic downturn in production after a fast start to the season, though other factors contributed there as well. In Odunze's absence, the Bears figure to deploy DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus as their top three WRs against the Packers.

Chicago Bears Injury Report Update: Rome Odunze, Two Others Ruled OUT vs. Packers in Week 14 Rome Odunze has been ruled OUT for Sunday's game against the Packers. That, and more, in the Bears injury report update.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Ruled out for Sunday Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Impact There was no clear sign of trouble during last week's 24-15 win over the Eagles, in which Odunze handled an 80 percent snap share and 87 percent route share but finished with just two catches for eight yards on six targets. He likely was injured at some point during that game, as he hasn't practiced since and will now miss a contest for the first time in his NFL career. Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus figure to get more playing time in Odunze's absence, with DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet also among the potential beneficiaries in terms of target volume.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Looking shaky for Sunday Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn't sound confident about Odunze (foot) playing in Sunday's game at Green Bay, according to Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com.

Impact Emma reports that Johnson was more optimistic about LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) than Odunze, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Odunze was listed with heel and ankle injuries earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game in his young NFL career.

The Big Picture: Why Caleb Williams Is Not Yet Optimizing Ben Johnson’s Offense

Another DNP on Thursday Odunze (foot) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.

Impact Odunze now hasn't managed any on-field work at the midpoint of Week 14 prep, allowing him only one more opportunity to mix into drills before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Green Bay. If Odunze is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus would be the main options to see work in three-wide formations.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
