The Houston Texans might be facing a Chicago Bears squad without a top target in the passing game.
According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Keenan Allen is doubtful for Sunday night’s game at NRG Stadium due to a heel injury. Rookie receiver Rome Odunze, who suffered an MCL injury in last week’s win against the Titans, is expected to be a game-time decision.
Allen, who joined Chicago this offseason following an 11-year career with the Los Angeles Chargers, hasn’t practiced all week. It was reported he wasn’t expected to practice on Wednesday due to a veteran rest day but did not return for the remainder of the week.

Odunze didn’t partake in drills during Wedensday and Thursday, but was a limited participant in Friday’s practice. Last week against the Titans, he caught one pass for a 14-yard gain.
With Chicago potentially without its top two receivers, Collin Johnson was promoted from the practice squad and will be active Sunday night.
The Texans will be healthy in the pass-catching department as Dalton Schultz is expected to play after practicing Friday.
