The Chicago Bears released their final injury report ahead of the 2026 season opener against the Carolina Panthers. Chicago lists quarterback Tyson Bagent with a back injury, wide receiver Rome Odunze with a calf injury, left tackle Ozzy Trapilo with a knee injury, and safety Xavier Woods with a groin injury as questionable. Bagent did not practice during the week, while Odunze, Trapilo, and Woods were limited. Odunze expressed intent to play on Sunday, though coaching staff may exercise caution given the early stage of the season. The Carolina Panthers report only one player unavailable, with starting outside linebacker Patrick Jones II ruled out. Running back Jonathon Brooks will play for Carolina after managing a groin issue during the week.
