Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze sprained his MCL during Sunday’s 24-17 win over the Tennessee Titans, a source confirmed to the Tribune on Monday.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus revealed Odunze’s knee injury Monday afternoon at his daily news conference at Halas Hall and said Odunze was scheduled for an MRI that day. ESPN first reported Odunze’s sprain and said he would be “week to week.”

Odunze, the No. 9 pick in the 2024 draft, injured his knee while blocking in the fourth quarter and mentioned it to the team during the game. Eberflus said he would have a further update Wednesday, but it appears the injury is not as serious as it could have been.

Odunze played 77% of the offensive snaps Sunday. He had one 11-yard catch in four targets — and fumbled the ball after a hard hit. Bears left guard Teven Jenkins recovered the fumble.

Odunze absorbed another hard hit while blocking for Velus Jones Jr. on an 8-yard catch with 5 minutes, 9 seconds to play. Two Titans defenders tackled Jones into Odunze’s leg. On the next play, D’Andre Swift’s 20-yard run, Odunze pulled up limping.

Odunze spoke with reporters for several minutes after the game and didn’t mention the injury.

The Bears wide receivers room appears to be banged up. Both DJ Moore and Keenan Allen went into the medical tent during the game but returned. Allen has been dealing with a heel injury since mid-August.

Eberflus brushed aside concerns about Moore and Allen on Monday.

“The only real concern we have is Rome, Rome’s knee,” he said.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love sprained his MCL on Friday and the Packers aren’t putting him on injured reserve, meaning they think Love’s recovery potentially could take only a few weeks.

Here are three other things we learned about the Bears offense from Eberflus on Monday.

1. Eberflus said the Bears will continue to let the interior offensive line competition “play out.”

The Bears used both Nate Davis and Ryan Bates at right guard Sunday. Davis started and played 18 snaps in the first and third quarters. Bates subbed in and played 38 snaps.

Eberflus said Sunday night the Bears used the rotation because Davis (groin) and Bates (shoulder) were coming back from training camp injuries and the team wanted to be sure they could get through the whole game. He said they would look at the situation this week following a tough outing on the offensive line against the Titans.

“Both guys have played guard a long time, and both are proficient at the job,” Eberflus said. “We’ll see where it goes this week.”

Eberflus was asked if the competition is also open at center, where Coleman Shelton started Sunday. When healthy, Bates also has the capability to play center.

“Coleman has been in there and he’s done a good job of directing traffic and operating in there,” Eberflus said Monday. “I know he had a couple of plays where he gave up a couple of pressures yesterday, and he wishes he had those plays back. Again, we are going to get better every single week.”

2. Eberflus said he thought Caleb Williams’ throws and footwork were “a little bit off at times” Sunday.

Eberflus met with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams on Monday morning to talk about his performance, which included completing 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in his NFL debut.

Eberflus said he believes some of the misfires will improve as Williams builds more chemistry with his receivers. And he pointed to another issue.

“Just his footwork, a little bit off at times,” Eberflus said. “But again, he threw a lot of good passes too.”

Eberflus said the Bears drew positives from Williams’ day, including him not committing a turnover. While the Bears passing offense wasn’t explosive — Williams’ longest completion was 13 yards to DJ Moore — Eberflus still thought Williams made some good throws, including a third-and-5 pass for 12 yards to Moore. He also agreed with Williams’ postgame assessment that he saw things well.

“I thought his vision was good,” Eberflus said. “I thought he saw it well. I thought he saw the coverage contours. He saw zero and then adjusted on the fly in terms of post-snap.”

3. The snap count for tight end Cole Kmet was down quite a bit from recent years.

Kmet, who signed a four-year, $50 million extension last year, played 27 snaps — 48% of the Bears offensive plays — and had one 4-yard catch on one target.

According to Pro Football Reference, that was the 12th-lowest percentage of playing time in Kmet’s career. The only games below that were from his rookie season in 2020 and when he was injured late in 2023.

The Bears have a new offensive coordinator in Shane Waldron, who brought in tight end Gerald Everett this offseason. Eberflus chalked it up to the presence of Everett, who played 34 snaps.

“We just have another tight end that is a good option, to be able to change and adjust the matchups that the defense has to use,” Eberflus said. “We have different personnel groups in 11 personnel like a lot of teams do.”
