Bears' Long, Sitton, Goldman Return To Practice; Wilson Begins Work

By Chris Emma--

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (CBS) -- Bears coach John Fox wouldn't update the injury report on Monday at Halas Hall, but he did make a proclamation of sorts.

"We're getting healthier," Fox said.

Fresh off the bye week, the Bears had most of their injured players at practice in a light tuneup for their Sunday game with the Buccaneers.

Guards Kyle Long (tricep) and Josh Sitton (ankle) were each present at practice, as was nose tackle Eddie Goldman, who has missed the last six games with an ankle sprain. Receiver Marquess Wilson worked for the first time this season, with the Bears opening his 21-day window to be activated off the physically-unable-to-perform list. Wilson suffered a broken left foot back on June 14.

The Bears can hope that Wilson provides depth at receiver as they continue to move on without Kevin White.

Cornerback Bryce Callahan was also back at practice after missing the last game with a hamstring injury.

Fox will update the specifics to the injury report Wednesday, when Chicago returns for its game week preparations for Tampa Bay.
