Emeka Egbuka - Active for Sunday's game Egbuka (foot) is active for Sunday's contest at Chicago, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Egbuka is back in action Sunday after clearing the concussion protocol prior to Week 8 and then doing enough on his foot injury during Week 9 prep to put an end to a two-game absence. Because he was a full participant Thursday and Friday, he should be good for his typical 8.2 targets per game from his six appearances on the campaign.

Emeka Egbuka - Expected to return Sunday Egbuka (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Chicago, is slated to return to action, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Impact On the heels of two games on the sideline due to a concussion and a foot injury, Egbuka kicked off this week as a non-participant Wednesday before logging back-to-back full sessions Thursday and Friday. Despite clearing the protocol for head injuries ahead of Week 8 action, he was listed as questionable with the foot issue ahead of Sunday's matchup, but Pelissero's report indicates Egbuka is trending toward active status. Egbuka's availability will be clarified approximately 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Impact Wirfs appeared on Thursday's injury report as a non-participant with a toe injury. The star left tackle managed to upgrade to limited for Friday's session. The upgrade to limited participation was enough to clear Wirfs of any injury designation, and the veteran protector is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest.

Emeka Egbuka - Officially questionable for Week 9 Egbuka (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Impact Egbuka has missed the last two games due to a concussion and a foot injury, and while he's cleared the protocol for head injuries, the latter issue has lingered into this week. After opening Week 9 prep with a DNP on Wednesday, he's logged back-to-back full sessions, but head coach Todd Bowles also relayed to Greg Auman of Fox Sports on Friday that Egbuka will be a game-time decision. Considering the Buccaneers have an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, there won't be many options to pivot to if Egbuka ends up being inactive.

Emeka Egbuka - Could be game-time call Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Egbuka (foot) will be a game-time decision for Sunday night's game against the Bears, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Egbuka was a full practice participant Thursday and reportedly looked healthy at Friday's practice, but it sounds like he'll be listed as questionable on the final injury report. It could be a frustrating situation for fantasy managers if Egbuka actually comes down to a game-time call Sunday night. Confirmation of a full practice Friday would hint at a return to action.

Impact With Egbuka having logged a full practice Thursday and seemingly repeating that Friday morning, he appears ready to return from a two-game absence. He should handle his usual workload in a matchup between two of the NFC's hottest teams Sunday night.

Josiah Trotter - Six takedowns in win Trotter recorded six total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 16-0 victory over Atlanta.

The rookie linebacker has still been out to quite the impressive start to his first NFL campaign, compiling 68 total tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pick-six over seven contests so far.
