Bears rookie Rome Odunze from the first round gets MRI of his knee after injuring it in Week 1, status unknown

The Chicago Bears' offensive performance in Week 1 was not as explosive as hoped, and now they may be missing a pass receiver. Head coach Matt Eberflus said rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze will undergo an MRI of his knee on Monday after apparently sustaining an injury in that area of ​​the body during Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Eberflus said he hopes the test doesn't reveal any serious problems, but he's not sure how serious the No. 9 pick's injury is. The head coach believes the injury occurred while the 22-year-old was blocking.

“[The concern is] Rome's knee. So we'll have to see where that is. He'll get an MRI today and then we'll see how it goes. Hopefully he'll be OK,” Eberflus said, via NBC Sports.

If Odunze is out for some time, wide receivers DeAndre Carter and Tyler Scott could fill that gap.

Odunze had one catch for 11 yards on four attempts in his team's 24-17 victory.

DJ Moore and Keenan Allen both left the game and went to the medical tent during the Week 1 game, but were able to return and finish the game.

Eberflus said he was not concerned about the status of his other star wide receivers, saying, “The only real concern we have is Rome.”

The Bears had fewer total yards, passing yards, rushing yards, yards per play and first downs than the Titans, but still managed to pull out the win. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams rushed for just 93 yards, completing 14 of 29 passes with no touchdowns and no interceptions. D'Andre Swift led the team in rushing with 30 yards on 10 carries, and DJ Moore had 36 receiving yards on five receptions, the most of any Bear yesterday.

In Week 2, the Bears travel to Houston to face the Texans, who defeated the Indianapolis Colts 29-27 in Week 1.
