Bears' Odunze Sidelined Again, Week 16 Status Uncertain
17 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Odunze did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to a foot injury.
- He aggravated a stress fracture during warm-ups before the last game.
- His availability for Saturday's game against the Packers is uncertain.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Odunze was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a lingering foot issue. This lack of activity comes after he missed his second consecutive game, having aggravated a stress fracture in his foot just prior to the recent victory over the Browns.
Head coach Ben Johnson indicated on Monday that the team might consider resting Odunze to ensure a full recovery from his foot problem. However, no definitive decision has been made regarding his participation in Saturday's crucial matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Despite the team's openness to a precautionary shutdown, Odunze's continued absence from practice on Tuesday does not inspire confidence in his immediate return. His status for the game against the Packers remains very much in doubt as the Bears head into Week 16.
