Another year, and another highly competitive NFC North division has the Chicago Bears continuing to make a push for their first division title since 2018.
Sitting at 6-3, the Bears will travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings (4-5). Chicago is hoping to either take the lead in the division or continue their tie with the Detroit Lions (6-3).
There have been some questions this week floating around about the status of the Bears' top two receivers, Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Some answers were provided on Friday.
Rome Odunze and DJ Moore log first full practice of week, trending towards playing in Week 11
Both Rome Odunze (ankle) and DJ Moore (shoulder) were yet to participate in a full practice while both receivers recover from injuries that they have been dealing with in recent weeks.
On the Bears' Friday injury report, both receivers were able to log a full practice. All signs suggest that both will be available for the divisional matchup in Week 11.
Odunze, 23, has been Chicago's leading receiver in his second year at the professional level. So far this season, he has 37 receptions, 559 receiving yards, and six touchdowns.
Moore, 28, has also been dealing with setbacks all season, but they haven't been able to stop him from appearing in all nine games for the Bears this season. Although he hasn't found the same success as he did in 2024, he still has 30 receptions for 403 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Chicago will need all of the reinforcements necessary to stay relevant in the playoff picture. Their next four games will be tough. This week will be the Vikings, and the following three will include games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Green Bay Packers.
