Bears WR Rome Odunze (hip) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but a full-go on Friday. The rookie should be ready for his usual role vs. the Rams this weekend, although WR Keenan Allen’s likely return adds target competition.
Bears WR Rome Odunze was added to Thursday's injury report with a hip. He was limited in practice. We don't have any other details on the rookie's injury right now. We'll see if Odunze practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Texans. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday – but he said the knee is just a pain-tolerance issue.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer labeled WR Keenan Allen (heel) as "doubtful" to play vs. the Texans tonight. It's been trending in this direction after Allen missed practice all week. Get him out of Week 2 fantasy lineups. WR Rome Odunze (knee) is seemingly on track to play tonight.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is "tracking to play" vs. the Texans tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's been a speedy recovery for the rookie, who was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday and limited in Friday's practice. Odunze said Friday that his injury is mostly a pain-tolerance issue. So it's possible that he winds up playing a full slate of snaps tonight. Still, the rookie would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups considering the injury and Chicago's Week 1 struggles on offense.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Texans. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Fantasy owners still shouldn’t be counting on the rookie in Week 2 fantasy lineups, especially with the late kickoff. But Odunze clearly avoided a significant injury and should at least be back by Week 3.

But Williams missed multiple downfield throws and had a few passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
The Bears nabbed WR Rome Odunze with the ninth pick of the NFL Draft. Odunze led the Huskies in catches and receiving TDs in 2021 and then broke out as a redshirt sophomore in 2022 with the arrival of OC Ryan Grubb and QB Michael Penix. Odunze tallied 75 catches, 1,145 yards, and seven TDs that year, while ranking top-45 among 286 qualifying WRs in both Pro Football Focus receiving grade and yards per route. He took another giant leap forward this past season, cranking out an FBS-high 1,640 yards and 13 TDs on 92 receptions. Odunze ranked eighth among 286 qualifying WRs in Pro Football Focus receiving grade and 18th in yards per route. And he did it all despite suffering a broken rib and punctured lung in his fifth game. Odunze boosted his draft stock with a better-than-expected Combine showing, earning a 9.92 Relative Athletic Score at 6’3 and 212 pounds. A polished route runner with excellent ball skills, there are shades of Davante Adams in Odunze’s game. He looks ready to make an immediate impact and should quickly emerge as a high-volume target. Odunze will have trouble piling up targets as a rookie, with WRs D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen around. But Allen's not a good bet to remain in the picture beyond 2024. If this landing spot makes Odunze slip at all in your dynasty rookie draft -- take advantage.
While Ohio State's Marvin Harrison and LSU's Malik Nabers -- widely considered the top-two WRs in this year's class -- opted not to work out at the Combine, Washington WR Rome Odunze went through the full gauntlet. Smart choice considering how well he performed. The 6'3, 212-pounder ran a plenty-fast 4.45-second 40-yard dash. He posted a 39-inch vertical and 124-inch broad jump. And he rocked a strong 6.88-second 3-cone. It all earned Odunze a 9.91 Relative Athletic Score that ranks 96th among 3,063 WRs from 1987 to 2024. He's a virtual lock to be a top-10 pick in April's NFL Draft and looks like a top-5 pick in 1-QB dynasty rookie drafts.
