ROME ODUNZE 100% HEALTHY & TERELL SMITH RETURNS The biggest relief for Chicago’s offense comes as explosive wide receiver Rome Odunze was officially cleared and labeled 100% good to go after missing time earlier this offseason. Odunze’s complete health provides quarterback Caleb Williams with his full complement of weapons as the offense installs its scheme in week one. Over on the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Terell Smith is also 100% good to go after missing the entire 2025 season with a torn patellar tendon. Having Smith fully healthy gives the secondary elite depth and flexibility behind Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson as training camp battles heat up. MONTEZ SWEAT NFI UPDATE & CAM LEWIS REPORTS TO PRACTICE Addressing the active Non-Football Injury (NFI) list, top insiders Courtney Cronin of ESPN and Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reported that star pass rusher Montez Sweat is not expected to remain on the NFI list for long. The front office is simply taking a cautious approach with their star defensive end before working him back into full team contact drills. In additional defensive backfield news, defensive back Cam Lewis officially reported to practice on Day 1 after suffering a concerning injury during OTAs. Having Lewis back on the field provides immediate special teams stability and secondary versatility for the defensive coaching staff.
