Chicago Bears starting protective lineman Eddie Goldman prepares to decide out of the 2020 season due to health issues connected to the coronavirus, sources validated to ESPN on Tuesday.
NFL Media initially reported the news.
Goldman, 26, has actually been a stalwart on Chicagos protective line because he went into the league as a second-round draft option in 2015. Bears basic supervisor Ryan Pace has actually repeatedly described Goldman as an “anchor” of Chicagos defense.
The 6-foot-3, 320-pound nose deal with begun 63 games (12.5 sacks) for the Bears over the past 5 seasons and is one of the teams best run-stoppers.
Goldman signed a four-year extension with Chicago prior to the 2018 season that included $25 million in guarantees. Goldman had 29 tackles and one sack in 15 starts for the Bears in 2015.
Chicago might include another free-agent nose take on, but the club currently restored veteran John Jenkins, 31, on an one-year handle the offseason. Jenkins appeared in eight video games for the Bears in 2017.
The Bears lost protective deal with Nick Williams in totally free agency to the Detroit Lions.
