#### Key Injury Updates:
Keenan Allen, WR:
In a positive turn of events, Keenan Allen was a full participant in practice today and is likely to play against the Rams
this weekend. Although he will be officially listed as questionable due to a heel injury, history shows that full participation in practice typically bodes well for a player’s game-day status. With Allen's playmaking ability, his presence on the field will be crucial for the Bears’ offensive strategy.
Out:

- Terell Smith (Hip): Smith is also ruled out, leaving the Bears with some adjustments to make in their defensive backfield.
- Zacch Pickens (Groin): Pickens will miss the game as he deals with a groin issue. His absence will be felt on the defensive line.
Questionable:
- Andrew Billings (Knee): Billings is listed as questionable, and his status will be closely monitored as game day approaches. His ability to play could significantly impact the defensive front.
- Kevin Byard (Neck): Byard's neck injury has him listed as questionable as well. His experience and skills are vital, so fans will be hoping for a positive update.
No Injury Designations:
- Rome Odunze (Hip): Good news for the Bears as Odunze has no injury designation, indicating he is ready to contribute.
- Darnell Wright (Back): Similarly, Wright has been cleared and will be available for the game.
### Conclusion
As the Bears prepare to face off against the LA Rams , the injury report presents a mixed bag of updates.
