LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The NFC North-leading Chicago Bears
will be without top receiver Rome Odunze for Sunday's game at
Green Bay because of a lingering foot injury.
Chicago (9-3) ruled him out on Friday. It's a tough blow for a
team trying to maintain a slim lead in the division over the
Packers (8-3-1). The Bears have won five straight and nine of
10, but they’ve struggled lately in the passing game.
Odunze did not practice this week. His foot has been bothering
him since October, and the team had been managing the injury by
having him sit out at least one practice per week.
Drafted with the No. 9 overall pick in 2024, Odunze emerged as
the Bears' top receiver this season. He leads the team in
receptions (44), yards receiving (661) and touchdown catches
(six).
Linebacker T.J. Edwards is poised to return after missing the
past four games because of hand and hamstring injuries. He was a
full participant in practice on Friday after being limited
earlier in the week.
