HOUSTON — The Bears hoped that resting Keenan Allen’s injured heel all week would allow him to play Sunday. The veteran receiver was made inactive 90 minutes before kickoff against the Texans, though.

Rookie Rome Odunze, who suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee in the opener against the Titans, was active. Odunze practiced Friday for the only time all week. Both were listed as questionable Friday afternoon.

Allen first hurt his heel last month, but the Bears dismissed the injury as the result of a cleat problem — “He should be fine,” general manager Ryan Poles said Aug.
