Bears nose tackle Eddie Goldman won’t play in Sunday’s season opener against the Rams after not practicing Wednesday through Friday because of a knee injury suffered during Monday’s practice.
He was ruled doubtful to play Friday, when coach Matt Nagy left open the possibility that he’d stay home this weekend rather than fly with the team. That proved to be the case.
Goldman was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2019 but hasn’t played a game since. He sat out the 2020 season because of coronavirus concerns.
He was the only Bears player to skip mandatory minicamp in June.
