Rome Odunze Limited in Thursday Practice, Expected to Play Week 11 with Ankle Issue

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, a pattern he has followed since late October. This suggests he is likely to be a full participant on Friday and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's road game against the Vikings, maintaining a solid chance of playing in Week 11. Odunze has appeared on injury reports multiple times this season but has not missed a game. In 2025, he has recorded 37 receptions for 559 yards and 6 touchdowns on 69 targets, averaging 15.1 yards per catch. Odunze signed a four-year, $22.72 million contract with the Bears in July 2024.
