BEARS INJURY REPORT: Updates for Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen's playing status | CHGO Bears

let's talk about today and what Nicholas Morano heard who is now joining us here from halis Hall I believe we've got him Nick good to see you brother uh you've been in the locker room you've been at the press conferences take it from there man what what was what's what's your number one takeaway from today well I think it's just the health status too of some of these Bears playmakers that you know Caleb Wills may or may not have on on Sunday against the Houston Texans but just hearing from Matt Eber flu you know right off the top saying that dayto day is going to be romad dun's prognosis as of so far um he is going to practice today but he not going to run any routes it's going to do more of the conditioning uh for Wednesday's practice which will be a very um physical practice that M reflu said so that's kind of what rad dun is dealing with as he deals with his MCL Sprain and then Keenan Allen will will rest today with that heel and you know the the benefit that I guess that Caleb Williams has that he still does have a guy like DJ Moore but I think that's the top story going into this one just the health status of two of the top Playmakers for the Bears and that you know creates opportunities for guys like Tyler Scott who wasn't active last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans but mat refl called this an opportunity you know not knowing exactly what what's going to happen between Rome and Keenan but it is an opportunity for a guy like Tyler Scott if he is asked to get more playing time on Sunday against Houston Texans obviously you know Mark just teed up that tomorrow Shane walren will speak to the media and I'm sure you guys are going to have a lot of questions for him but were there any questions pertaining to Personnel directed at Matt Eber flu and his his opinion or insights on that yeah I think the big one uh seeing that Cole KT had less than 50% in the snap so M reflu was asked about that uh in today's press conference and he said it was just kind of situationally way the rotation happened and you know obviously they want to get Cole more involved in in this offense as he should is a guy that just got paid but there's still looking for IA flu put it as a formula to success on offense so that may be with you know maybe less Co more Co but I think for the the better of this offense you want to see 85 out there just because of everything he can do as a pass blocker but also as a pass catcher so I think that's going to be something moving forward that you know the Bears are going to get they're just it's going to take games I think you guys to get again that formula that Matt erlu is trying to find is the best one he asked about bis not he he was not um unlike the so right after the game guys I don't think veis was in the locker room I think he was you know dressed and way out of there but he was in in today's locker room obviously but he wasn't asked anything about veis but I guess we'll see from today's practice what uh what they even have him doing right because he he he lost his kick return responsibilities in Sunday's game against the Titans after that muffed uh kick so um he he just wasn't asked about it in in today's press conference I saw uh you know the Caleb portion of today a lot of people tweeting out about how that he one thing he said he's got to do better is his drops uh that he that uh sometimes I Rush my drop a little bit not needing to what was your uh was was that the biggest thing that came out of Caleb's mouth today or was there something else no I mean that was I think one of the bigger ones there mark because like when you watch some of those plays it did look like he had some Happy Feet going through his drops and the one play that he highlighted uh Roman dun was open in the middle of the field and how Caleb described it he Juiced the throw meaning that he just tried to go all arm with it to try to fit the ball into it but if he had just relied on his drop he would have gotten to where he needed to be on time hit Rome and got the completion instead of putting the offense in an advent not in an advantageous situation uh but you know what I think too like he said like with you know there were several throws he was asked about some of the throws that he missed if he can have him back he mentioned there were several even six of them that he highlighted in his press conference but he He also mentioned that the narrative would have been a lot different for the offense had you know some of those completions have been made and knowing that he the mistakes that were made in that game they are going to be correctable because it it's not like he hasn't been accurate before in his past what his training camp and back in his college days at USC so he does feel like that those Corrections can be made it's not some you know long-term issue if you're making a huge um you know statement after week one you shouldn't because those are throws that Caleb Williams typically does hit and make so uh with mat brfl obviously he was very vocal in the preseason of challenging Nate Davis to get out there you know and and you know the only way you're going to get ready is to to be out on that field so now week one comes along and you talk about Cole KT getting less than 50% of snaps while Ryan Bates and Nate Davis Ryan Bates ends up with more snaps at Right Guard was there any thoughts from iberl on how that's shaken out I know he said that they want to do continue to do this rotation but any extended thoughts beyond that yeah well he was asked about as a whole the old lines of valuation of the day and so guys I thought it was a little surprising that he said he thought it was solid obviously wanted better run numbers but kind of going back to what he said about this being a physical practice I think this is a really important practice for Nate Davis and obviously Ryan Bates and determining who's going to be that Right Guard moving forward because this is where you're going to actually see again a little bit more intensity in in Wednesday's practice as he would later on in the week so um I I think that's going to be huge for just the continuity of this group you saw Ryan Bates close out the game as opposed to Nate Davis but they do need to get that corrected and I know matl thought the evaluation of the old line was better than what the numbers indicated but I think we need to see the numbers also indicate that this o Line's doing better in terms of the rushing yards and also for the the time that Caleb has to throw so we do need to see both those things improved upon Nick I know you spent a bunch of time in the locker room today anything you can tell us I know you're working on something I don't know if that's a secret uh it's not a secret but for our die hards I wanted to highlight some of the defensive plays that maybe didn't get all of the recognition so just going around and asking some of the defensive players like I talked to Andrew Billings like what was kind of cool from him he was lining up on the Edge at times and he was really excited about that opportunity knowing that you know he's not always out there but there was a couple plays where him and Demarcus Walker ran a few stunts and were able to hit home and just kind of asking like how how do you go about making sure that timing is perfect so that you can get around and getting to the quarterback and he said well it just takes a lot of repetition that started all the way back in training camp so there'll be more of a deep dive on some of those defensive plays um including from Andrew Billings jaquin brisker and TJ Edwards I'll have a Die Hard article but uh again you have to sign up become a die hard to get access to that in the first place love it love it Eric Banton in the chat is asking is is Roshan Johnson gonna be back at practice yeah I did see him getting ready in the locker room but um we will will practice starts in about 10 minutes here at house hul you guys so once practice is over I will make sure to take pictures of everybody that is and isn't practicing and then we can see exactly who is out there on the Bears practice field all right Nick anything else before you go no guys uh appreciate the patience though it's uh you know running around over here so uh if there's anything me and Karma good at it's
