The Bears placed Odeyingbo (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo sustained an Achilles injury during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday. The injury is severe enough for the 2021 second-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of the season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 2026 campaign. With Odeyingbo done for the year, the Bears solidified their depth on the defensive line by acquiring Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round pick via trade from the Browns on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

Odeyingbo will miss the rest of the 2025 season due to an Achilles injury he sustained during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo left midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's game due to what was originally reported as an ankle injury. However, further tests have a revealed an Achilles injury that will sideline the 2021 second-rounder for the rest of the season, and he'll finish with 21 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense across eight regular-season games. With Odeyingbo done for the year, Austin Booker and Daniel Hardy are slated to see more snaps at defensive end.

Odeyingbo registered eight tackles, including one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo had 12 tackles in six games before breaking out against the Ravens. This looks like an anomaly performance, and the defensive end remains a low-floor IDP.

Odeyingbo is in line to sign a three-year, $48 million contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo will depart Indianapolis after four seasons with the Colts. In 2024, the Vanderbilt product recorded 31 combined tackles, including his lowest sack total since rookie season with 3.0. He'll figure to be a prominent piece on the Bears' defensive line in 2025.

Odeyingbo produced 31 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, along with two forced fumbles and a recovered fumble over 17 regular-season games.
EDGE Analysis
For the third straight year, Odeyingbo played in all 17 regular-season contests. Despite the fact that he logged 120 more defensive snaps than in 2023, his total sacks dropped by over half, from 8.0 to 3.0. Odeyingbo is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and it's unclear if Indianapolis will look to bring him back.

Odeyingbo (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo picked up a hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Titans. He finished the week as a DNP on Friday, but the 2021 second-round pick will play through the injury for Sunday's game. Odeyingbo has accrued 11 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through the first six games of the regular season.

Odeyingbo (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. If the Vanderbilt product is unable to play through his hamstring issue in Week 7, expect 2024 first-round pick Laiatu Latu to start opposite Kwity Paye as part of Indianapolis' top defensive-end duo.

Odeyingbo (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Odeyingbo returned in the second half of the Colts' Week 6 win over the Titans after sustaining a hamstring injury earlier in the game. However, Wednesday's DNP indicates he's still nursing the issue and could be in jeopardy of missing more time. Odeyingbo will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Colts' Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins.
