Rome Odunze and Kyler Gordon expected to return from injuries

Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze, who has missed the past five games with a foot injury, has no injury designation for Saturday night, and is expected to play, although he said he might have some plaing time limitations.

"For me, I'm looking to be out there as much as possible, and make as many plays as I can. At the end of the day, it's all or nothing for this game, and until the Super Bowl, until the end of the season. So I want to contribute as much as possible, and put everything that I have out there on that field," he said on Wednesday.

Bears nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon is listed as questionable for the game after missing the past five games with a groin injury. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen has said he expects Gordon to be part of the game plan.

"It gives us another playmaker. Obviously, it's been unfortunate we haven't had him much this season,, but he was a guy coming into the season that we were really excited about, and I feel like he can help us make some plays and help us win," Allen said.

Jordan Love to be back under center for Packers

Love cleared the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Packers' season finale, but was held out in Week 18 after the team had already locked up the No. 7 seed in the playoffs.
