Bears injury report: Rome Odunze available, Teven Jenkins among those ruled out vs. Packers
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Bears have had a number of players dealing with illness this week. Rome Odunze, Kyler Gordon and Larry Borom have all missed time because of that, though it shouldn’t have a major impact on their availability for Sunday’s season finale versus the Packers.
All three of those guys did not receive an injury designation and will be available in Green Bay. That was expected, though Odunze missed two practices dealing with illness.

Left guard Teven Jenkins is dealing with a calf injury that kept him out of last week’s game and practice heading toward this Packers clash. He’ll miss Sunday’s game with the same ailment, meaning Jake Curhan should start for a second straight game. Borom is expected to start at left tackle for a second game, with starter Braxton Jones on injured reserve.
Elijah Hicks has also been ruled out with ankle/foot injuries and Travis Homer won’t be available due to a hamstring issue. Jonathan Owens will be a three-down safety opposite Kevin Byard III. Darrynton Evans will fill Homer’s role on special teams.
