Eddie Goldman will play vs. Buccaneers in Week 10 by Bryan Perez
The Bears are getting one of their most valuable players back in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as second-year nose tackle Eddie Goldman is healthy and ready to return to the middle of the defensive line.
Big takeaway: Eddie Goldman is not on this list and will be active for #CHIvsTB.

How much Goldman plays is anyone's guess after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Bears' Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Regardless of his snap count, his presence will force the Buccaneers' offensive line to take note of him, leaving opportunities for other members of the front-seven to make plays against Jameis Winston and Doug Martin.
Chicago is as healthy as they've been in several weeks. They're now entering a period of eight must-win games. Having Goldman back will strengthen their chances of making a late-season run at the NFC North crown.
Good news and although he'll most likely be limited to certain number of snaps just as McPhee was his first game back this is still a positive for the defense as he starts to get his game back.
