Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said left tackle Tristan Wirfs will be available against the Chicago Bears despite a toe injury. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka's availability remains uncertain, with Bowles listing him as questionable.

Wirfs resumed practicing Friday after sitting out Thursday's session. Bowles confirmed his playing status at a press conference. The tackle has appeared in every game so far this season.

Egbuka was a full participant in Thursday's practice after missing two games with different injuries. A concussion kept him out in Week 7, while a foot injury sidelined him in Week 8.

Linebacker Yaya Diaby, who has a knee injury, is the only Buccaneers player ruled out so far. The team enters the Bears matchup seeking to extend its winning run to three games.
