Bears' Odunze Says He's Ready for Season Opener Despite Questionable Tag
Wide receiver Rome Odunze expects to play against the Panthers on Sunday despite being listed as questionable with a calf injury.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze said he expects to play in Sunday's season opener at the Carolina Panthers, despite being listed as questionable on the team's final injury report with a calf injury, according to ESPN.
Odunze, who has been dealing with the calf issue, told reporters he feels prepared to take the field for the Week 1 matchup, ESPN reported.
The questionable designation means Odunze's availability was not guaranteed as of the report, though his own comments suggested optimism about suiting up for the Bears' opening game of the season.
Further details on the extent of the injury, his practice participation throughout the week, or official confirmation of his status were not immediately available.
