Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard is active against the Buccaneers today.
The second-year player out of Indiana injured his shoulder in last week's loss to the Falcons, where he ran for 52 yards and a touchdown.
Howard should suit up but wide receiver Markus Wheaton (finger) is a much longer shot to play in Tampa Bay but is listed as active.
