DJ Moore Cleared to Play as Bears Host Rams in NFC Divisional Showdown
The Chicago Bears welcome the Los Angeles Rams to Soldier Field this Sunday for a crucial NFC Divisional Round playoff game. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on January 18. All attention focuses on wide receiver DJ Moore's status after his recent appearance on the injury report.
Moore Officially Available After Full Practice Week
The Bears released their final injury report on Friday. It shows DJ Moore practiced fully and carries no injury designation for Sunday's contest. This officially clears him to play against the Rams. Moore has been managing a knee issue but enters the game ready to contribute.
Bears correspondent Ari Koslow confirmed Moore's removal from the injury report. Moore logged full participation throughout the practice week. This follows his impressive performance in last week's wild-card victory over the Green Bay Packers. He caught the game-winning touchdown in that matchup.
Moore remains a primary target for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams in Chicago's passing offense. This season, he has recorded 50 receptions on 85 targets for 682 receiving yards and six touchdowns. His late-season performances include a standout 97-yard outing against the Packers in Week 16.
Other Bears Injury Updates Before Playoff Game
The Bears listed several other players with injury concerns. Wide receiver Rome Odunze appears as questionable with a foot issue. Odunze returned last week against Green Bay and finished with two catches for 44 yards.
Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin also carries a questionable designation due to a back injury. Defensive back Nick McCloud has been ruled out completely with a groin problem.
