Bears-Packers injury report: Statuses on Rome Odunze, Luther Burden

[ASFN Admin]

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.

The Bears released their final injury report ahead of Saturday night's game, and it's bad news at wide receiver. Both Rome Odunze (foot) and rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out after not practicing all week. It's a huge blow for Chicago's offense, whose top wideouts are now DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus. Meanwhile, things look more encouraging for tight end Cole Kmet (ankle/knee), running back D'Andre Swift (groin) and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (groin), who could be activated off injured reserve this week.

Here's a look at Thursday's final injury reports for the Bears and Packers:
