The Chicago Bears have a question mark at wide receiver Rome Odunze ahead of the divisional-round showdown with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

That's because Odunze, who made his return to the field in the wild-card game after a lengthy absence, is questionable to play due to a foot injury that has plagued him for months now.

In the week leading up to the Rams game, Odunze logged two limited practice before turning in a full session on Friday and drawing the questionable tag.

Here's the latest on Odunze's playing status ahead of kickoff.

There hasn't been any confirmation from the team, nor have there been any reports from NFL insiders saying Odunze will play, but the Bears wideout was confident during the week that he would suit up.

Odunze, who has a stress fracture in his foot, told the Chicago Sun Times' Patrick Finley that he expects to play and he's going to ride his injured foot until "the wheels fall off."

"There was soreness, but at this part of the season, it’s all hands on deck and play through it. I’ll ride it ‘til the wheels fall off," Odunze said.

Odunze played nearly 70 percent of snaps upon his return to action last week, so we would expect that much, at least, this week, but it's possible he'll see an uptick now that he's got a game under his belt.

The Rams and Bears will kick off from Soldier Field at 6:30 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
