Bears WRs Rome Odunze (heel), D.J. Moore (hip, groin), and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) are off the final Week 9 injury report. They'll be the clear top three WRs vs. the Bengals this weekend, with WR Luther Burden (concussion) ruled out.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (heel), D.J. Moore (hip, groin), and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) all returned to limited practices on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. That should have them on track to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. WR Luther Burden (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday and is tracking to miss Week 9.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (heel), D.J. Moore (hip, groin), Olamide Zaccheaus (knee), and Luther Burden (concussion) all missed Wednesday's practice. Burden is unlikely to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. We don't have any other info on Odunze, who seemed to make it out of last week's loss to the Ravens okay. Moore has been playing through these injuries for multiple weeks now. HC Ben Johnson labeled Zaccheaus "day to day" earlier this week. We'll see if these guys are able to get back on the practice field tomorrow.

Second-year WR Rome Odunze had his second 100-yard performance of the season, but Chicago's 4-game winning streak came to an end with a 30-16 loss in Baltimore. Odunze led the Bears with 10 targets, also the second time this season he has earned double-digit looks. His 7 receptions and 114 receiving yards against the Ravens led the team.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip) is off the final Week 8 injury report after getting in a full practice on Friday. He’ll be ready to play his usual role vs. the Ravens this weekend but remains no better than a WR3 in fantasy lineups.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip) returned to a limited practice on Thursday, putting him on track to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. Even with six teams on bye, Moore is no better than a WR3 for that one. He's finished just one week better than WR36 in PPR points this season.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip) was sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He was on last week's injury report with a hip (and groin) but played his usual role in the win over the Saints. Moore should be fine for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

The forecast for today's Saints-Bears game calls for winds of 15 mph with gusts around 30. That's enough to impact the passing and kicking games. We've made some projection docks to both passing games, although guys like QB Caleb Williams and WRs Rome Odunze and Chris Olave can remain in fantasy lineups. Avoid both kickers in this game. The over/under in this one has dropped from 46.5 to 44.5.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip, groin) is off the final Week 7 injury report. He was hospitalized after Monday night’s win over the Commanders and didn’t practice on Wednesday. But Moore returned to a limited practice on Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. It all suggests that he’ll be ready for his usual role vs. the Saints this weekend. Moore, of course, has been a fantasy disappointment so far this season, averaging just 9.8 PPR points per game.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip, groin) got back on the field for a limited practice on Thursday. It's an encouraging turn after he was hospitalized following Monday night's win over the Commanders. Moore's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Saints remains uncertain, but it at least seems like he's not looking at an extended absence. We'll update Moore's status again on Friday.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip, groin) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Ben Johnson labeled him "day-to-day" yesterday, but we don't have any other details on Moore's injuries. He doesn't seem like a particularly good bet to play vs. the Saints this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on his status. Moore's absence would likely mean a big boost in snaps for rookie WR Luther Burden.

Bears HC Ben Johnson said WR D.J. Moore is "day-to-day" with a groin injury. He was hospitalized after Monday night's win over the Commanders, and we still don't have any further details on the injury. “I think we got some good news in that regard," Johnson said. "I think he’ll be day-to-day going forward. It was a groin deal that he was dealing with, but I think we’re going to be ok.” We'll look for more updates on Moore and watch his practice participation this week. It at least sounds like he has a chance to play vs. the Saints on Sunday.

WR Luther Burden led the Bears with 4 receptions in Monday night's win over the Commanders. He caught all four of his targets for 51 yards, led by a 37-yard deep ball. WR Olamide Zaccheaus led the team with six targets in a contest that found QB Caleb Williams spreading around his 29 pass attempts. Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore tied for second with five targets. Two other Bears followed Burden with three targets apiece. Despite the reception lead, however, the rookie saw no role growth coming out of the bye.

Bears WR D.J. Moore left the stadium in an ambulance after Monday night's win over the Commanders and spent the night in a local hospital instead of on the team flight home. The Bears have so far only called it "precautionary medical attention." HC Ben Johnson is expected to give an update on the situation today.

Bears WR Rome Odunze racked up a 7-128-2 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Lions. His 11 targets beat his nearest teammate by five. Odunze also accounted for 54.7% of the team's receiving yards and caught the only two TD passes. D.J. Moore ranked second on team in targets (6), receptions (5), and receiving yards (46). Olamide Zaccheaus finished second with five targets but managed just 2 catches. D'Andre Swift was the only other Bear to reach 3 receptions.

During Friday’s joint practice with the Buffalo Bills, rookie WR Luther Burden III ran with the Bears second-team offense, according to Greg Braggs Jr. of CHGO Sports.

D.J. Moore logged a career-high 14 carries last season, and it looks like new HC Ben Johnson wants to continue that type of usage. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Moore has spent some time in the backfield in practice this week "as Johnson looks for as many ways as possible to utilize his agility and speed."

Bears WR Luther Burden III hasn’t practiced since rookie minicamp in early May due to a soft tissue injury. However, HC Ben Johnson said this week that Burden's on track to suit up for the start of training camp.

Bears HC Ben Johnson sounded very excited about rookie WR Luther Burden in the team's post-draft press conference. "Stud," Johnson said of Burden. "He’s a playmaker waiting to happen. ... For 6 foot and 200+ pounds, it’s rare to see someone with his movement skills. He can stop on a dime and accelerate just like that. Give him a little bit of space, and he can make big things happen. A dangerous player and weapon. ... I see big things in his future."

Bears reporter Chris Emma believes “it’s reasonable to believe” that TE Cole Kmet “can be a dynamic threat” with new HC Ben Johnson. Emma predicts Kmet will set statistical career highs in 2025.
