The third, and final, Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is out. And it is mostly good news for Chicago’s football team. This is as good as an injury report gets this time of year, so I’ll take it without thinking twice about it. As far as I’m concerned, wide receiver Rome Odunze getting upgraded to full participation on Friday’s Bears injury report is the best news that could have come from the injury report. Odunze w...
