Report: Rome Odunze (leg) ‘should be all good’

Rome Odunze

CHI Wide Receiver #15

Player Stats

The Athletic’s Dan Wiederer reports that Bears WR Rome Odunze (leg) “should be all good after leaving today’s practice.”

Let it be known that these are “preliminary indications” from Wiederer, but Bears fans and fantasy managers alike can breathe a sigh of relief. The team will now go on break over the weekend, and coach Ben Johnson will address the media sometime next week. The first injury report comes out on Wednesday, so we should have an update by then, at the latest. It should be noted that Odunze injured his left foot last season. Today’s injury is to his right leg, so the two issues are unrelated. This is not a re-injury. For now, there is reason for cautious optimism regarding Odunze’s health.

Rome Odunze

CHI Wide Receiver #15

Rome Odunze caught 2-of-3 targets for 52 yards in the Bears’ Week 1 win against the Panthers.

Odunze came down with an impressive 47-yard contested catch near the end zone in the first half. He was quiet from there on out. Running a route on about 60 percent of the Bears’ drop backs, Odunze may have been limited by the calf injury that kept him out of practice for much of last week. Odunze will continue as a high-variance downfield option in a run-first Chicago offense next week against the Vikings. He should be treated as nothing more than a WR3 option in 12-team formats.

Rome Odunze (calf) is active for Week 1 against the Panthers.

Odunze missed some practice time this week with the calf issue and was considered questionable headed into the weekend. He could see his snaps and routes limited if the calf is still bothering him. Odunze should be considered a high-variance flex option with a frightening floor against the Panthers. Bears declared QB Tyson Bagent, QB Miller Moss, S Xavier Woods, OT Ozzy Trapilo, DE Jamree Kromah, and OL Jordan McFadden inactive for the team’s season opener.

CHI Wide Receiver #15

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Rome Odunze (calf) is expected to play in Week 1 against the Panthers.

Odunze was limited by the calf issue throughout the week before being listed as questionable on Friday. He will suit up today but might not be at full strength. Odunze will be a high-risk WR3 for his 2026 opener. To no one’s surprise, Colston Loveland trails only Trey McBride in the tight end rankings, while Luther Burden is a speculative WR2.
Kaden Davis

CHI Wide Receiver #80

Bears elevated WR Kaden Davis for Week 1 against the Panthers.

This wouldn’t be news under normal circumstances but takes on additional meaning with Rome Odunze listed questionable for Week 1. It is of particular note that the Bears already have five wide receivers on the active roster and still chose to elevate another. While recent reports seemed to indicate a sense of optimism regarding Odunze’s potential availability, he could be on the wrong side of questionable given the recent transaction. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his status when the team releases its inactives 90 minutes prior to first kick. Luther Burden and Colston Loveland would be in line to benefit greatly should Odunze be unable to go.

CHI Wide Receiver #15

Rome Odunze (calf) is questionable for Week 1 against the Panthers.

Odzune was limited in all three practices this week. He appears to be on the right side of the questionable designation, but fantasy managers will still want to check on his status 90 minutes before kickoff. If he does miss Week 1, the Bears’ passing attack will run almost entirely through Colston Loveland and Luther Burden. Burden would be a top-24 wideout without Odunze. Loveland is likely penciled in as the TE2 for the week already.

Rome Odunze (calf) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Bears coach Ben Johnson called Odunze “day to day” earlier this week. He went down with the calf injury in practice late last week. The initial reports were all positive, but it’s not a guarantee that Odunze will be ready for Week 1. A full practice over the next two days would be a good sign, though not necessary for Odunze to play. Assuming he does suit up, Odunze will be a high-riskF FLEX play.

Bears coach Ben Johnson said Rome Odunze (leg) is “day-to-day” and won’t practice Tuesday.

Johnson added that he was “hopeful” Odunze would go on Sunday. Check back on Wednesday to see if he actually hits an injury report, but Odunze hasn’t practiced yet this week and that’s certainly not a great sign even if we’re not rushing to rule him out just yet.

Rome Odunze (leg) was not seen practicing on Monday.

Odunze suffered a leg injury on Thursday. The Athletic’s Dan Wiederer said later in the day that the belief is that Odunze “should be all good” after the injury scare, but it’s something to keep an eye on this week. The Bears won’t release their first injury report until Wednesday, which could serve as the first clear look at where things stand for Odunze for Week 1 against the Panthers. If he is unable to go, second-year players Luther Burden and Colston Loveland could both see a slight uptick in target volume.

CHI Wide Receiver #15

The Chicago Tribune’s Sean Hammond reports that Bears WR Rome Odunze exited practice early on Thursday after suffering an apparent leg injury.

Per Hammond, Odunze “came up hobbling during an install period at the start of practice,” with what appeared to be a right leg injury. Apparently, Odunze “wasn’t overly concerned” and tried to continue practicing, but Bears trainers removed him from the field. That last bit is encouraging. Hopefully, Odunze’s Week 1 availability has not been jeopardized. Bears TE Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden would benefit if Odunze cannot play. Odunze is backed up by WR Kalif Raymond.

Bears WR Rome Odunze said his foot “feels amazing.”

Odunze caused concern earlier this offseason, saying his 2025 foot injury created “a different type of foot structure” and that he was learning to deal with the “new normal.” Speaking with ESPN’s Courtney Cronin today, Odunze said he articulated his prior comments poorly and that his foot issue is “not even really something that I think about anymore.” Sounds like he has successfully adjusted to the new normal, which is great to hear. Odunze is jockeying for position in the Bears’ target pecking order with TE Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden this summer.

Chargers signed WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad.

Valdes-Scantling worked out with the Chargers earlier Tuesday and now signs with the team’s practice squad. The 31-year-old spent the offseason with the Cowboys and has been a journeyman since his first four seasons with the Packers, also spending time with the Chiefs, Bills, Saints, 49ers, and Steelers over his career. The Chargers add Valdes-Scantling as depth with Ladd McConkey dealing with a rib injury and KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) heading to injured reserve.

Texans signed LB Kenneth Murray to their practice squad.

Murray is a former first-round pick of the Chargers, spending four seasons in Los Angeles before splitting the last two seasons with the Titans and Cowboys. He has started 83-of-90 career games and brings experience to the middle of a Texans defense that just placed Henry To’o To’o on injured reserve. Murray will start out on the practice squad but it would not be a surprise to see him get some regular season snaps soon.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Commanders LB Frankie Luvu suffered a groin strain in Week 1 and is “expected to avoid IR.”

Luvu left the Commanders’ Week 1 loss to the Eagles with an apparent groin injury. Fowler reports the veteran linebacker is not expected to have a long-term absence, but the fact that avoiding injured reserve was even mentioned indicates Luvu is in danger of missing Week 2. Rookie first-rounder Sonny Styles will pair with Leo Chenal in the middle of the Washington defense while Luvu misses time.

49ers signed TE Jack Stoll to their practice squad.

With Jake Tonges dealing with an MCL injury, the 49ers added Stoll to the practice squad for depth. Stoll spent last season with the Saints, catching six passes for 46 yards in 15 games. He initially signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent an 2021 and has not surpassed 200 yards receiving in a single season over the course of his career. Stoll’s specialty is blocking and we could certainly see him blocking in the 49ers’ run game if Tonges is out for a while and George Kittle still working his way back to a full workload.

CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports Ravens WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) is expected to undergo surgery “in the coming days.”

Lane fractured his wrist in the Ravens’ Week 1 victory over the Colts, catching one pass for 11 yards in his rookie debut. The 22-year-old operated as a top-three receiver in the Ravens offense and was set for a sizeable role prior to the injury. He was seeking multiple opinions on the injury as of Monday, but Zenitz now reports Lane is expected to have surgery on his wrist very soon. Zenitz adds that the hope is for the rookie to be able to return in a month. Injured reserve will be a consideration for Lane, which would be a four-game absence at the minimum.

He’ll miss at least the next four games. Lambert-Smith played in two special teams snaps in the opener and the days of him and Trey Lance hooking up for deep passes at the Hall of Fame game feel like they happened five years ago instead of in 2025. The Chargers added Gary Jennings off the practice squad to fill the void.
