Brad Biggs at the Chicago Tribune answers your questions:
The medical/training staff again pushed players to return [against Cleveland] when a week further would have been sensible. That needs clearing up immediately, maybe change of staff as it’s not an isolated incident. — @bigdelboy46
I wish I had as much deep insight into precisely what went wrong with wide receiver Rome Odunze on Sunday when the team ruled him out after declaring inactives for the game. Here’s what I do know: It’s a delicate business when players have injuries and are working to get back on the field. I can tell you for a fact there have been Bears head coaches in the past who got upset with the training staff at various times for not pushing players hard enough to get back on the field sooner.
There’s this idea that the medical and training staffs have failed the Bears this season because of a series of soft-tissue injuries that have cost cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon and linebacker T.J. Edwards a lot of time on the field. Odunze’s situation with a foot injury is different.”
I would speculate that this criticism of the Bears is off base. When [head coach] Ben Johnson spoke about Odunze, in particular, he talked about protecting the player from himself. It may very well be that Odunze a push to play and the medical staff let him do it rather than the other way around.
