Odunze’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He left practice early on Sept 3 with what the team described as a calf injury, played through it in Week 1 and came off the injury report on Sept 16.
He had five catches for 95 yards through the first two games. In 2025 he missed five games late in the season with a right foot stress fracture.
Fantasy Action: Hold Odunze, but his weekly value tracks Chicago’s quarterback situation more than his own health; treat him as a WR4 or deep flex until the Bears’ passing game stabilizes.
