Bears WR Rome Odunze “needs rest” after playing through a stress fracture in his foot, and is now considered week-to-week.

05 December 2025

Prior to the foot listing, Odunze has been listed with heel and ankle issues on the Bears’ injury report, dating back to late October. It is possible these listings are all related. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that “the belief is it’s nothing long term and he’ll be back soon.” The Bears (9-3) sit atop the NFC standings. Preserving Odunze’s health for the playoffs makes sense. The Bears sandwich a Week 15 game against the Browns with games against the division-rival Packers in Weeks 14 and 16. Hopefully, Odunze is good to go for the rematch.
