The Chicago Bears will be in the spotlight for Week 2. That is because they are taking on the Houston Texans in NBC’s Sunday Night Football slot.
However, there was doubt as to whether two key wide receivers would be able to play in this game for the Bears. Now, we have confirmed the status of both of these players. Read below to find out.
Keenan Allen OUT
According to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Bears WR Keenan Allen has been ruled out for tonight’s game against the Texans. He is still dealing with a heel injury that will cause him to miss at least one game. Last week, he had four catches for 29 yards in the Bears’ victory over the Tennessee Titans.
Rome Odunze Is Active
The good news for the Bears is that they will not lose multiple wide receivers for this epic prime time clash. That is because rookie WR Rome Odunze is active for tonight’s game. Last week, in his professional debut, he had just one catch for 11 yards.
Chicago Bears Moving Forward
Chicago started their 2024 season on a high note with a victory over the Titans. It was the professional debut for rookie phenom Caleb Williams. While he has had plenty of prime time games with Oklahoma and USC in college, this is his first time in the national spotlight at the professional level. It is safe to say the football world will be watching closely.
