Bears Win Despite Rookie Injury Concerns

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze is undergoing an MRI to assess a knee injury sustained during their Week 1 win against the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Matt Eberflus expressed concern over the injury, which occurred while Odunze was blocking, and indicated more information would be available by midweek. In the game, Odunze caught one pass for 11 yards and was targeted four times, but his performance was overshadowed by the injury. Meanwhile, the Bears' No. 1 pick, quarterback Caleb Williams, also struggled during his debut, completing only 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards. Eberflus noted that while other receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen had minor injury concerns, Odunze’s situation is the most serious. The Bears are hopeful that the MRI is precautionary and that Odunze's injury is not severe as they prepare for a matchup against the Houston Texans.
