Bears WR Rome Odunze sends defiant message before Packers showdown
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze was a full participant in practice on Thursday and no longer has an injury designation heading into his team’s Wild Card Round playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.
Odunze had previously been sidelined for five straight games due to a foot injury and did not play in either of the Bears’ two regular-season meetings against the Packers. But he appears to be on track to take the field this weekend, and he has sent a strong message ahead of return.
“I can definitely provide an asset to this offense,” Odunze said. “It’s tough being out for five weeks and having to be on the sideline and have all that happen and go through that, the ups and downs of the season and not being able to contribute. As long as I have the option to be out there and contribute, I’m going to give it my all. I believe I can make a difference.”
Whether or not Odunze will be even close to 100 percent remains to be seen, but his mere presence on the field should pay dividends for a Chicago offense that had been humming when Odunze was healthy earlier in the season.
How effective will Rome Odunze be for the Chicago Bears?
In 12 games this season, Odunze caught 44 passes for 661 yards and six touchdowns, averaging a robust 15 yards per catch.
The former first-round pick has been the Bears’ top wide receiver this year, especially with D.J. Moore having the least productive campaign of his career. However, it seems doubtful that he will be full gait against Green Bay.
Perhaps Odunze can serve as somewhat of a decoy, allowing fellow receivers like Moore and Luther Burden III to take center stage. Having him on the gridiron is certainly better than him being absent, but it will be interesting to see just how healthy he actually is.
Even though the Bears are home, many are picking the more experienced Packers — who are also banged up — to win this game.
We’ll see if Odunze and the rest of his Chicago teammates can continue to prove their doubters wrong against their hated NFC North rivals on Saturday evening.
