Bears' Caleb Williams won't have two of his top three WR for Week 16 vs. Packers image

The Chicago Bears enter their Week 16 matchup against the Green Bay Packers with a chance to secure a playoff spot and also put a big gap between them and the rest of the NFC North for a chance to win the division.

But the Packers, even with Micah Parsons out for the year, are far from an easy mark. Their defense is still solid, and the Bears won't have an easy time winning in Week 16 on Saturday night.

And things just got worse on the Bears' final injury report. In the announced injury report, the Bears are going to be without Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, two of the team's top three wide receivers.

Bears' Rome Odunze, Luther Burden out vs. Packers in Week 16

The Bears will be without Burden due to an ankle issue, and Odunze due to a foot issue. Neither practiced all week, and will have some time to heal up for a potential Week 17 return.

But, in a pivotal Week 16 matchup that could decide the NFC North division winner, the Bears will have to win without two of their top wide receivers.

D.J. Moore is active, and Olamide Zaccheaus has been a decent option for the Bears at times this season. Coleston Loveland will also play a huge role, and Cole Kmet, while questionable, has a good chance to play in Week 16.

Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson will have a tough task on Saturday night, as two of the team's top-three wide receivers are going to miss the biggest game of the season.

The 10-4 Bears have a chance to cement themselves atop the NFC North, punch their ticket to the playoffs, and further impress this season. But, they will have to do so without Odunze and Burden in Week 16.
