Why it matters: Egbuka's availability strengthens the Buccaneers' passing attack as Tampa Bay brings a two-game winning streak into Sunday Night Football. Chicago enters at 6-2 on a three-game winning streak, setting up significant NFC playoff implications.

By the numbers: Last season (2025), Egbuka recorded 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns across 17 games for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers enter Sunday with an NFL-best -0.22 EPA per play on defense.

What to watch: Official active rosters will be finalized 90 minutes before kickoff in Chicago. Egbuka's snap count will be monitored closely in his return to action.
