Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the host Indianapolis Colts due to a heel injury.

The news is not surprising given the six-time Pro Bowl selection sat out last week's game versus the Houston Texans and did not participate in practice this week.

The news is better for fellow wideout Rome Odunze, who was a full participant in practice on Friday. He does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game.

Odunze sustained a sprained knee in a 24-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 8.

Allen (908 career receptions) and Odunze (the ninth overall choice of the 2024 draft) are both in their first season with Chicago.

Also on Friday, the Bears ruled out fullback Khari Blasingame (hand/knee), defensive lineman Zacch Pickens (groin) and running back Travis Homer (finger). Offensive lineman Nate Davis (groin) was listed as questionable after turning in his third straight limited practice on Friday.
