Summary

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is currently day-to-day as he deals with a foot injury ahead of the team's season opener against the Carolina Panthers. The issue surfaced during practice on September 3, forcing the receiver to leave the field early. Head coach Ben Johnson confirmed the injury is unrelated to the stress fracture that caused Odunze to miss five games during the 2025 season. While the team did not hold a full workout on Wednesday, Odunze was listed as a limited participant on the injury report. The Bears remain hopeful that he will be available to play on Sunday.
