Bears WR Rome Odunze expects to play Saturday

Our Summary

Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is expected to return for Saturday's wild-card game against the Packers after missing the final five regular-season games due to a foot injury. Odunze, who was limited in practice sessions earlier this week, initially injured his foot in October and stopped playing after a game against the Eagles on November 28. Despite the setback, Odunze has recorded 44 receptions for 661 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games this season. He expressed confidence in his ability to positively impact the team's offense upon his return.
