u/alex • 4m

Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze are questionable for the Bears' upcoming game, with their availability to be determined closer to kickoff.

Why it matters: The potential absence of these key receivers could significantly impact the Bears' offensive performance and game plan.

Allen has been dealing with a heel injury, while Odunze has a knee injury. Both players have missed practice time leading up to the game against the Houston Texans.
Coach Matt Eberflus believes that Allen's experience as a veteran gives him a better chance of playing through the injury compared to a rookie like Odunze.

What's new: The Bears will assess Allen and Odunze before the game to evaluate their pain tolerance and ability to perform at their best.

Odunze suffered an MCL sprain but received confirmation from doctors that there is no structural damage to his knee. His availability will depend on his pain level and ability to play without limitations.
Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron emphasizes the importance of having the team's top receivers on the field together to improve offensive performance.

Yes, but: The Bears may consider promoting Collin Johnson or Samori Toure from the practice squad to add depth at the wide receiver position if Allen and Odunze are unable to play.

Shane Waldron quote: "It's going to be tough each week... to have a perfect distribution of everyone's reps... but it's something we look at as a staff to how we can do a better job to help our guys, get in that rotation, and get those guys out there together more often."

The bottom line: The status of Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze remains uncertain for the upcoming game, and their availability will greatly impact the Bears' offensive strategy and potential success.
