Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze is dealing with an MCL sprain in his left knee, which has sidelined him for practice this week. While he was initially considered week-to-week, the team's coach has indicated he is day-to-day. With other receivers also missing practice, Odunze's status for the upcoming game against Houston remains uncertain. Additionally, Odunze is in contention for the Bears' primary punt returner role, which could provide him opportunities to impact the game despite his limited offensive role.
- Odunze's knee injury is a concern for his availability in the upcoming game.
- The Bears' receiving corps is thin with multiple players missing practice.
