The Chicago Bears were without a couple offensive starters Thursday as the team returned to the practice field.
Wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) and right guard Jonah Jackson (illness) both didn’t practice Thursday. Jackson was added to the injury report while Odunze has missed practice for the past three weeks and missed the team’s last four games. Both will have one more chance to get back on the field before Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
Defensive end Joe Tyron-Shoyinka (concussion) would’ve missed his second straight practice after he injured himself against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The team didn’t practice Wednesday and released an estimated report instead.

Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) was listed as full for a second straight day.
