Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze’s status drastically changes before playoffs
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze was the team’s leading wide receiver before he suffered a foot injury against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 28.

The Bears expected the second-year receiver to play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, but Odunze suffered a setback during warmups. Chicago toyed with the idea of placing him on injured reserve before the postseason, but have kept him on the active roster despite ruling him inactive in Week 16 and Week 17.
Earlier this week, Bears head coach Ben Johnson said the team would see how this week of practice goes before deciding if Odunze will play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Johnson previously suggested he’d return for the playoffs.
Per the Bears injury report released Friday, Odunze returned to practice as a limited participant and has been designated as questionable to play the Lions, a drastic change in his status before the postseason.
Chicago can clinch the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a win over rival Detroit in Week 18.
The Chicago Bears ruled four as questionable for Week 18

Defensive lineman Joe Tryon-Shoyinka was ruled out with a concussion. Safety Jaquan Brisket was added to the injury report with an illness and is questionable to play Detroit.
Wide receiver Luther Burden was a full participant at practice on Thursday and Friday and is expected to play the Lions after suffering a quad injury during the final play of the Bears’ 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.

Johnson made it clear this week that he desperately wants to beat the Lions on Sunday. The Bears want to avoid slipping into the playoffs on a two-game losing streak.
However, the Bears will have to balance being full force against the Lions with Odunze or consider saving the receiver for another week so he can be healthy for the wild card round of the playoffs.
