Bears' Dayo Odeyingbo Out After Achilles Tear

News summary

Chicago Bears defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo tore his Achilles against the Bengals and the team confirmed he will miss the rest of the season. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $48 million deal in March and had about 21 tackles and one sack while lining up inside and opposite Montez Sweat. His season-ending injury, coming after rookie Shemar Turner was placed on IR with a torn ACL and with Dominique Robinson dealing with an ankle problem, significantly weakens Chicago’s pass-rush depth. The setback has increased pressure on GM Ryan Poles to add help before Tuesday’s trade deadline, with analysts saying the Bears could pursue short-term veterans or longer-term fits. Depth players such as Austin Booker and Daniel Hardy — and potential alignment shifts involving Gervon Dexter — are expected to see larger roles while the Bears (5-3) host the New York Giants on Sunday.
