Bears' Top Four WRs, Multiple Starters Miss Practice

The Chicago Bears entered Week 9 preparations with their top four wide receivers—DJ Moore (hip/groin), Rome Odunze (heel), Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) and Luther Burden III (concussion)—all out of Wednesday’s practice ahead of Sunday’s game at Cincinnati. Additional absences included RBs D’Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) and DE Dominique Robinson (ankle), while TE Cole Kmet (back) and CB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) were limited and LB Amen Ogbongemiga was a full participant as he works off injured reserve. Chicago (4-3), coming off a surprising loss to the Baltimore Ravens, faces heightened concern because Odunze is the team’s leading receiver and is on pace for over 1,000 yards this season. The Bengals also listed injuries — including QB Joe Flacco’s AC joint sprain and DE Trey Hendrickson’s hip issue — meaning both teams could see key absences. The Bears’ final game-day availability will hinge on how those players respond over the next few practice sessions.
