Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze was initially listed as day-to-day after sustaining a leg injury during a Thursday practice session. Coach Ben Johnson expressed hope that Odunze would be available for the season opener against the Carolina Panthers. As the Week 1 matchup approached, the nature of the injury was identified as a calf strain, though some reports suggested a potential foot issue. While Odunze expressed his intention to play, he had not been officially cleared by the coaching staff. Reports indicated he was trending toward playing on Sunday, with the expectation that if he could not participate, he would be ready for the Week 2 game against the Vikings. Ultimately, the Chicago Bears confirmed that Odunze will play in the season opener against the Panthers despite the lingering calf injury. Although he was listed as questionable following limited practice sessions, Odunze expressed confidence in his status, stating, ‘I doubt I’m questionable. I plan on playing.’ While Odunze was cleared, the Bears will be without other key players for the matchup at Bank of America Stadium. The official inactive list includes safety Xavier Woods due to a groin injury, as well as quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Miller Moss, along with Jamree Kromah, Jordan McFadden, Ozzy Trapilo, and Jayden Loving.
