Notably, Rome Odunze has a chance to play on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Bears close the 2025 regular season against the Detroit Lions, with the No. 2 seed on the line with a win. The Bears are not expected to rest starters, meaning we will see Caleb Williams and others. That said, Week 18\u2019s final injury report suggests Rome Odunze is trying to play on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bearspr\/status\/2007170530001203694?s=46&amp;t=pIh6etc3TDvaQxIMPYL_gA\">According to the Bears\u2019 public relations team<\/a>, Odunze, Ozzy Trapilo, Nick McCloud, and Jaquan Brisker are all questionable for Sunday\u2019s game. Defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is officially out. Josh Blackwell, Luther Burden III, Jonah Jackson, and Olamide Zaccheaus will all play. <\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bearspr\/status\/2007170530001203694?s=46&amp;t=pIh6etc3TDvaQxIMPYL_gA\"><\/p>\n<p>Trapilo\u2019s name popping up certainly raises alarms, but Odunze\u2019s availability continues to be the most notable. Once the Bears lead receiver, Odunze has battled a nagging foot issue for weeks now. Without him, the Bears have watched DJ Moore, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland step up in various situations. However, it appears Odunze is hoping to play against Detroit on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>According to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JasonLieser\/status\/2007174083398774815?s=20\">Odunze is non-committal on a return<\/a>. Per the receiver, the \u201cgoal posts\u201d have moved a few times, and he\u2019s just focusing on rehabbing. The good news? Odunze <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JasonLieser\/status\/2007174246678831272\">believes he will not need surgery<\/a> on his foot, which bodes well for the playoffs. In addition, the Washington product said he felt \u201c<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JasonLieser\/status\/2007174565521416236\">pretty good<\/a>\u201d at practice this week <a href=\"https:\/\/ontapsportsnet.com\/nfl\/chicago-bears\/bears-still-evaluating-odunze-have-hope-for-burden-iii\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">despite being limited<\/a>. He won\u2019t sit just to sit, so if he can play, expect him out there on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color has-sm-font-size wp-elements-65f0d2a0492239f364191a9e0f5c9832 has-lg-margin-top has-no-margin-bottom\" style=\"color:#000000a1\" data-content-name=\"cta-middle-content-engagement\" data-track-content=\"\">Story continues below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-heading has-lg-font-size has-no-margin-top\">More Sports News<\/p>\n<p>\t .wp-block-group__inner-container:has(> .embla),<br \/>\n\t.wp-block-group:where(.alignfull) > .wp-block-group__inner-container:has(> .embla) {<br \/>\n\t\twidth: calc(100vw &#8211; (var(&#8211;side-spacing) * 2)) !important;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla {<br \/>\n\t\tposition: relative;<br \/>\n\t\toverflow: hidden;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__container {<br \/>\n\t\tdisplay: flex;<br \/>\n\t\tflex-wrap: nowrap;<br \/>\n\t\tgap: 0 !important;<br \/>\n\t\twidth: 75%;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__slide {<br \/>\n\t\tmargin-inline-end: var(&#8211;column-gap);<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:active,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:target,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:hover,<br \/>\n\t.embla__arrow:focus-visible {<br \/>\n\t\tdisplay: none;<br \/>\n\t\tposition: absolute;<br \/>\n\t\ttop: 50%;<br \/>\n\t\ttransform: translateY(-50%);<br \/>\n\t\twidth: 40px;<br \/>\n\t\theight: 40px;<br \/>\n\t\tmargin: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tpadding: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tline-height: 0;<br \/>\n\t\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75);<br \/>\n\t\tcolor: var(&#8211;color-primary);<br \/>\n\t\tborder-radius: 100vw;<\/p>\n<p>\t\tsvg {<br \/>\n\t\t\twidth: 24px;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__prev {<br \/>\n\t\tleft: 0;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t.embla__next {<br \/>\n\t\tright: 0;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t]]><\/p>\n<p>The Bears and Lions do battle at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday.
