The Chicago Bears faced a challenging start in Week 1, marked by an underwhelming offensive display and injuries to their wide receiver corps. Rookie Rome Odunze's MCL sprain has raised concerns as he awaits further evaluation after undergoing an MRI, which thankfully revealed no significant damage. His status remains uncertain for the upcoming game against the Houston Texans.

Head coach Matt Eberflus has expressed optimism regarding Odunze's condition and downplayed worries about other wide receivers, stating the primary concern lies with the rookie. If Odunze is unable to play, DeAndre Carter and Tyler Scott are likely candidates to step in. Despite their difficulties in various offensive categories, the Bears secured a 24-17 victory.
