Bears | Rome Odunze week-to-week Mon Sep 9, 07:06 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament and is considered week-to-week, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Odunze played most of the game Sunday, getting his first career NFL catch in the fourth quarter of the contest. According to local reports, it's believed he was injured on a blocking play during the game, as he visibly hopped off the field later in the fourth quarter. The Bears also had to deal with Keenan Allen and DJ Moore getting banged up during the game, but both were able to finish the contest, and the hope is that both will be fully ready to go against the Houston Texans in Week 2. The same cannot be said for Odunze. The team won't resume practicing until Wednesday, and that's when media will get a first glimpse into the rookie's Odunze'sinjury status, but MCL sprains generally lead to multi-week absences. |
Bears | Rome Odunze getting MRI Mon Sep 9, 12:54 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) will get an MRI on his knee, according to head coach Matt Eberflus on Monday, Sept. 9.
| Footballguys view: Odunze caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans and played 43 of the team's 56 offensive snaps. Eberflus said it's not clear when the injury happened as Odunze played through the end of the game, but, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, whatever issue he reported was serious enough to send him for tests. The Bears are in Houston next Sunday night, and we'll know later this week if there's any risk of Odunze missing the game. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift held in check Sun Sep 8, 06:12 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 30 yards on 10 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Swift wasn't involved as a receiver, even though that was why he was the subject of many positive training camp reports, and the Bears didn't establish the run in a game they trailed 17-0 at one point. Swift is just a flex play at this point until Caleb Williams and the rest of the offense gets on track. |

Bears | Caleb Williams finishes with 108 total yards Sun Sep 8, 06:12 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams went 14-for-29 for 93 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. He also rushed for 15 yards on five carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Williams was saved by a special teams and defensive touchdown in what was a ho-hum debut for the #1 overall pick. He wasn't in a good rhythm and will probably have a learning curve. Next week, he'll square off with C.J. Stroud. |

Bears | Keenan Allen 50-50 for opener Fri Sep 6, 02:15 PM
Chicago Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: It is possible that even a healthy Allen would be the #3 receiver in this stacked pass offense. It's probable that the Bears will lean on the run if they can get out to a lead against the newlook Titans Sunday. Allen isn't an automatic start in deeper leagues, but he is expected to play according to head coach Matt Eberflus. |
