Bears List Rome Odunze Questionable for Browns Game After Back-to-Back Limited Practices

Chicago seeks a boost to a stalled passing game in a tight NFC seeding race.

Overview

  • Odunze practiced on Thursday and Friday in a limited capacity and is officially questionable to face Cleveland after missing Week 14 with a foot injury.
  • The foot issue has been described as a stress fracture, and the Bears’ choice not to place him on IR signaled expectations for a shorter absence.
  • Chicago’s leading receiver has 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets, underscoring his central role in Ben Johnson’s offense.
  • Without Odunze in Green Bay, the passing game sputtered as DJ Moore was held to one catch for minus-4 yards in a 28-21 loss that dropped the Bears to 9-4 and down the NFC seedings.
  • Cleveland was reported to be dealing with multiple injuries, including rookie DT Mason Graham logging multiple DNPs with a rib issue, while Chicago monitored WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) and CB Tyrique Stevenson after limited work.
