Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is activefor their Divisional Playoff game vs. the Los Angeles Rams . The former Washington standout was originally listed as questionable with a foot injury.
The issue has lingered for roughly a month, limiting him to 12 games this season. However, Odunze played last week against the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round.
In the 31-27 win, Odunze reeled in just two catches for 44 yards, but was targeted six times. In regular season, his second year out of college, Odunze had 44 catches for 661 yards, six touchdowns and 15 yards per catch.
In 29 career games, Odunze has 98 catches for 1,395 yards, nine touchdowns and 14.2 yards per catch. He was selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after playing for the Huskies for four seasons.
In college, Odunze was a consensus All-American in 2023, the NCAA receiving yards leader that year and twice named First-Team All-Pac-12. Safe to say, he was pretty darn good.
