Ready to go for Week 1
Odunze (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Despite being a limited participant throughout Week 1 prep while managing the calf injury that first cropped up Sept. 3, Odunze has received the green light to play in the Bears' season opener. Odunze should handle his usual starting role, and the Bears haven't provided any indication that he'll have his snaps limited as a result of the injury.
