Bears receiver Rome Odunze remains limited in practice with calf injury
Summary

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze appeared on the team's first injury report of the season with a right calf injury. Although the receiver limped off the practice field last Thursday, team reports indicate the issue is not considered serious. Odunze spent Monday and Tuesday participating in rehab activities as the team prepares for the upcoming Sunday schedule. Despite the setback, he is trending toward playing in the season opener. Meanwhile, teammate and left tackle Ozzy Trapilo also appeared on the report as a limited participant due to a patellar tendon injury and is not expected to play Sunday. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent missed practice with a back injury. Because the team did not hold a full practice session on Wednesday, the injury designations currently serve as an estimate of player availability.
