Despite injury, Ben Johnson says he sees ‘same old’ Rome Odunze

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears

Some of the biggest story lines surrounding the Chicago Bears here in mandatory minicamp is the injury situation. The Bears are dealing with some tough injuries including starting nickel Kyler Gordon. However, one injury that is still getting attention is that of Rome Odunze.

The wide receiver suffered a foot injury last offseason and after a hot start it looked like he was primed for a big season. But that was derailed after that injury and instead, Odunze missed several games and wasn’t himself to end the season.

Going into 2026, Odunze revealed that there is a ‘new normal’ for him in terms of this injury. It’s a comment that drew a lot of attention and rightfully so.

So far in minicamp, the injury hasn’t appeared to hamper Odunze yet. Instead, he looks healthy and is making plays in practices.And Ben Johnson doesn’t see any difference in Odunze just yet.

Odunze’s comments were last week but this is the first time Johnson has been able to speak on it. He broke his silence on what he’s seen from Odunze so far in OTA’s and minicamp.

“No, that’s nothing new to me,” Johnson said. “He’s out there, he says he feels great. He looks good to me. We go back and forth with the coaching staff and he looks like the same old Rome. So I think we’re in good shape.”

That’s certainly good news.

As DJ Moore is no longer on the roster, Odunze is a guy who will need to step up this season. So far in practices he’s stayed healthy and hasn’t looked much different, which is an encouraging sign.

Last season, Odunze finished with 44 receptions, 661 yards and six touchdowns. But five of the six touchdowns came in his first four games and after that, he had just one more which came late in the season.

Let’s hope Odunze can stay healthy this season and play a big role in the Bears’ offense.
