The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a Week 16 rematch against the Green Bay Packers on short rest, where Chicago is looking to build their third winning streak of the season as they inch closer to a playoff berth.
Following a walkthrough on Tuesday, the Bears practiced for the first time ahead of Saturday night’s game, and it’s still concerning news at wide receiver. Both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) did not practice, putting both of their statuses in question against the Packers. Meanwhile, running back D’Andre Swift (groin) was a limited participant, as well as tight end Cole Kmet (ankle/knee) and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (groin), who’s trending toward playing on Saturday.
Here’s a look at Wednesday’s injury reports for the Bears and Packers:
