The Bears got their best three receivers back Thursday.
Rome Odunze (hip/groin), DJ Moore (heel) and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) were all limited in practice one day after sitting out with injuries
“That wasn’t a pretty sight [Wednesday], was it?” Moore said.
It looks a lot better now. Odunze said he plans to play Sunday against the Bengals, while Moore said he was feeling “pretty good” as he deals with an injury that has bothered him for two weeks.
“We took the Wednesday [off] to get his body back right and take a little mental day to understand the playbook, work and have fun,” Odunze said. “But we’re doing better, we’ll be all right.”
The Bears’ fourth receiver, second-round rookie Luther Burden, remains in concussion protocol. The Bears could fill his spot with kick return specialist Devin Duvernay or expand the role of Jahdae Walker, who had two of his three offensive snaps of the season come against the Ravens.
More concerning for the Bears was running back D’Andre Swift missing his second consecutive practice. He has been dealing with a groin injury since the Commanders game but participated in the Thursday practices before both the Saints and Ravens games.
If he can’t go Sunday, the Bears figure to lean heavily on rookie Kyle Monangai, who had seven carries for 24 yards last week.
“Whatever my role is, however I have to step up to help my team win the game, that’s what I want to do,” Monangai said.
