It remains unclear whether nose tackle Eddie Goldman will return Sunday against the Browns for his first game since 2019. Goldman missed the first two games with a knee injury and was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday.
If the Bears have him, it’s a huge help. The Browns are the No. 3 rushing team in the NFL at 154.5 yard per game thanks to running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
“The guys feel real confident in Eddie,” defensive coordinator Sean Desai said. “He’s a big, physical presence in the middle of the defense, and that becomes a real calming factor for a lot of guys that are around him.
