Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Rome Odunze

Thursday, October 30, 8:53 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) was listed with just a heel injury on Wednesday and was a full practice participant before being downgraded to limited on Thursday, with the Seahawks adding a hamstring injury, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Kupp's availability for Sunday night's contest against the Washington Commanders is now in question, and he might need to return to a full practice on Friday to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend. If the 32-year-old veteran is out or limited at all on Sunday Night Football, rookie Tory Horton would see an uptick in playing time as Seattle's WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Although Kupp did score on Oct. 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars -- it was his first score of the year -- he's gone over 50 receiving yards twice in his seven games in his first year in Seattle.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (heel) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday due to a heel injury. The Bears' offense is pretty banged up coming out of their Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, as receivers DJ Moore (groin, hip), Luther Burden III (concussion), and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) all missed practice as well. It remains to be seen if Odunze's injury is serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 9 in a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but we should know more about his status over the next two days. After two straight 30-yard performances, the second-year wideout bounced back nicely in last week's loss, catching seven of his 10 targets for 114 yards, his second 100-yard game of the year. Odunze had five touchdowns in the first four games, but he hasn't scored since. He'll have a good chance to end his scoring drought against Cincy, though, if he can play.
