The Chicago Bears are getting set to host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night in the divisional round.
More News: Bears’ Rome Odunze has stress fracture: Report
With cold weather expected for Sunday night, the Bears have an advantage over the visiting Rams. The winner of the contest will play the winner of the game between the visiting San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.
The Bears would play a home game in the NFC conference championship if they and the 49ers win on Sunday.
On Friday, the Bears released their final injury report of the week.
Defensive back Nick McCloud has been ruled out with a groin injury. Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin is questionable to play with a back injury.
Rome Odunze, who is battling a stress fracture in his foot, is also questionable to play against Los Angeles.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze might not play Rams

The good news for Odunze is that he was a full participant in practice on Friday. The second-year wide receiver made his first appearance since Black Friday in the Bears’ 31-27 wild-card victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.
On Thursday, Odunze told reporters it was “tough” to manage the injury against the Packers, but wants to play through the issue during the postseason.
“There was soreness, but at this part of the season, it’s all hands on deck and play through it,” Odunze said. “I’ll ride it ‘til the wheels fall off.”
Against the Packers, Odunze recorded two receptions for 44 yards, hauling in a miracle throw from Caleb Williams on fourth down in the fourth quarter, allowing the Bears to continue their comeback.
Odunze was Chicago’s leading receiver before suffering the injury against the Eagles. The 2024 first-round pick recorded 44 receptions for 661 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season.
Odunze wants to play, but the questionable designation means the Bears are worried he might not take the field against the Rams. In December, Odunze was made active against the Cleveland Browns but suffered a setback during warmups that kept him sidelined for the remainder of the regular season.
