Bears WR Rome Odunze Drops Definitive Statement on His Injury Status
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze suffered a calf injury last week and has officially been listed as questionable.
Rome Odunze, the Chicago Bears' wide receiver, has declared himself ready to play in Sunday's Week 1 game against the Carolina Panthers, despite officially being listed as questionable due to a calf injury. Odunze, who had been practicing limitedly in the days leading up to the game, expressed confidence in his ability to participate, stating, "I’m feeling ready to go.
I doubt I’m questionable." This athlete, known for being among quarterback Caleb Williams' favored targets during his 2025 sophomore season, had previously missed the final five games of the 2025 regular season due to a foot stress fracture. Should Odunze be unable to play, his workload would be significantly increased for wide receiver Luther Burden III. The Bears are scheduled to take the field against the Panthers at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
