"Odeyingbo was injured with 7:04 to play in the fourth quarter of Chicago's 47-42 win at Cincinnati. The 26-year-old edge rusher's ankle appeared to give out as he was matched up one-on-one with Bengals right tackle Amarius Mims, leading him to fall onto his back. Odeyingbo exited the game and did not return. He logged 37 snaps against the Bengals and recorded one quarterback hit."
"The Bears spent big on their pass rush in free agency and signed Odeyingbo to start opposite defensive end Montez Sweat. After spending the first four years of his career in Indianapolis, the former second rounder signed a three-year, $48 million contract ($32 million guaranteed) with Chicago in March. In eight games, Odeyingbo accounted for 21 tackles, four quarterback hits and one sack."
"His injury is the third the Bears have been dealt arosss the defensive line within the last two weeks. Chicago placed rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner on injured reserve last Tuesday after he tore his ACL against the Baltimore Ravens. Defensive end Dominique Robinson also exited Chicago's Week 8 game with a high ankle sprain. The Bears activated defensive end Austin Booker off IR last week. He recorded a sack in Cincinnati during his first game of the season."
Bears defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after sustaining an Achilles injury against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was injured with 7:04 remaining in the fourth quarter of Chicago's 47-42 win when his ankle appeared to give out while matched one-on-one with Bengals right tackle Amarius Mims, causing him to fall onto his back. Odeyingbo exited the game and did not return after logging 37 snaps and one quarterback hit. Signed to a three-year, $48 million deal in March, he had 21 tackles, four quarterback hits and one sack in eight games. The team has also lost Shemar Turner (ACL) and Dominique Robinson (high ankle sprain), while Austin Booker recently returned from IR and recorded a sack.
