TAMPA, Fla. — Eddie Goldman is back.

The Bears nose tackle, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2, will start Sunday against the Buccaneers. Receiver Eddie Royal (toe) will play, too, while cornerback Bryce Callahan (hamstring) is out. Both were limited Friday.

Pro Bowl guards Kyle Long and Josh Sitton, who practiced in full, will start.

The Bears are as healthy as they’ve been since Week 2.

They left defensive end Mitch Unrein (back) and cornerback Deiondre Hall (ankle) at home. Other inactives include cornerback DeAndre Houston-Carson, linebacker John Timu, guard Eric Kush and tight end Daniel Brown.

Buccaneers running back Doug Martin, who hasn’t played since Week 2, highlighted their list of active players.
