Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee late in the season opener Sunday against the Titans, a source said.

Because it’s a Grade 1 (mild) sprain, he is considered week-to-week, and the Bears will hold off for at least a couple of days before deciding his status for their game Sunday at the Texans.

Odunze played 77% of the Bears’ offensive snaps in their 24-17 comeback victory, had one catch for 11 yards and didn’t show any sign of being hurt.
