Bears' Rookie Receiver Rome Odunze Sidelined with MCL Sprain

Chicago's offense faces adjustments as Odunze recovers from knee injury sustained in season opener.

  • Odunze's MCL sprain is classified as week-to-week, avoiding a move to injured reserve.
  • The injury occurred during a blocking play in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans.
  • Matt Eberflus remains hopeful but will reassess Odunze's status throughout the week.
  • Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams struggled in his debut, contributing to Chicago's reliance on defense and special teams.
  • Wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen also had minor injuries but are expected to play in Week 2.
