Overview

  • The final injury report Friday ruled top receiver Rome Odunze out with a foot and heel issue; he leads the team with 661 yards, 44 catches and six touchdowns.
  • Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (hip) and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II (shoulder) were also ruled out, while cornerback Jaylon Johnson practiced fully.
  • Linebacker T.J. Edwards was a full participant with no injury designation after hand surgery and a hamstring issue, and Noah Sewell is set to return from an elbow injury.
  • With Odunze sidelined, targets are expected to shift to DJ Moore, Luther Burden III and Olamide Zaccheaus, with Devin Duvernay focused on special teams and rookie Jahdae Walker an option.
  • Chicago’s run game is at full strength with Kyle Monangai carrying no designation, as coaches push for improvement in a passing attack they say has lagged.
