Rome Odunze

Rome Odunze caught 1-of-2 targets for 45 yards in the Bears’ preseason Week 2 game against the Bengals.

The box score doesn’t tell the full story for Odunze as the promising rookie played 19 of 21 snaps with the first-team offense, a massive uptick in time on the field compared to his first preseason game. In fact, Odunze led all Chicago skill position players in snaps in the first half with the starters. This comes a week after it was veteran Keenan Allen that played the heaviest snap share with the ones. The situation appears fluid, meaning we’ll have to wait until the team’s final preseason game before making sweeping assumptions regarding snap rate and opportunity shares in a now-stacked Chicago skill position group.
