Bears' final Week 18 injury report gave hope for potential Rome Odunze return

In a critical Week 18 showdown with the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears need all their starters to ensure they get the number two seed in the NFC.

The final Week 18 injury report came out, and it's more optimistic than it has been in the past. Only one player has been ruled out of the game: defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, who is still in concussion protocol.

Four players are considered questionable for the Lions game, including star wide receiver Rome Odunze with a foot injury. Here is the full injury report:

Bears still have questions about who will play in Week 18

It still feels like it might be a long shot for Odunze to play in the game, as he was limited in the final practice of Week 18 after sitting out the first two.
