Good to go for Week 10
Goldman (concussion) is active for Sunday's tilt against Detroit.
Analysis: Goldman finished last Sunday's loss to Seattle in concussion protocol, but he was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday, and has officially been cleared to suit up against the Lions. The veteran defensive tackle has consistently logged a defensive snap share in the 30- to 50-percent range this season.

Questionable with concussion
Goldman (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Analysis: Goldman was a full participant at practice both Thursday and Friday, but he still has to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to play in Week 10. If he can't do so by Sunday, veteran Sheldon Day would figure to see an increased snap count on the defensive line.

Improves to full practice Thursday
Goldman (concussion) participated fully in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Goldman was evaluated for a concussion during last Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He began this week with a limited practice before upgrading to a full session Thursday. That suggests he could be able to suit up Sunday versus the Lions, though it's not clear if he's cleared concussion protocol yet.

In concussion protocol
Goldman (concussion) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Goldman left Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with a head injury, which has since been confirmed as a concussion. He'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol to suit up in Week 10 against Detroit.

Looked at for possible concussion
Goldman is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday night's contest against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Goldman took a blow to the head in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Jer'Zhan Newton stands to see an uptick in usage as the top reserve option behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw at defensive tackle.

No longer under the weather
Goldman (illness) was not listed on Thursday's injury report.
Analysis: Goldman was unable to play against the Bears on Monday due to an illness, but his absence from Thursday's injury report indicates that he is on track to play against the Cowboys on Sunday. Goldman has worked in a rotational role on the Commanders' defensive line in 2025 and has seven tackles (two solo) through five regular-season games.

Sidelined by illness
Goldman (illness) is inactive for Monday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Goldman was added to the injury report Sunday due to an illness and is set to miss his first game of the season. He's served in a rotational role along the Washington defensive line, so the combination of Daron Payne, Javon Kinlaw and Jer'Zhan Newton should all see a slight bump in involvement.

Under the weather
Goldman is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears due to an illness.
Analysis: Goldman is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the 2025 season due to an illness, and his official status for Monday's contest may not be known until the Commanders announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Jer'Zhan Newton would be in line for more rotational snaps at defensive tackle behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw if Goldman is unable to play.

Providing depth for Washington
Goldman is in line to sign a one-year contract with the Commanders, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Goldman is primed to handle a depth role at defensive tackle, with Washington already having Daron Payne (knee), Javon Kinlaw and Jer'Zhan Newton. He suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Falcons in 2024, playing a rotational role.

Back in the mix with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Goldman on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Goldman will join Atlanta's offseason roster after he recently decided to put an end to his second retirement. The 6-foot-3, 332-pound defensive tackle last saw action with the Bears in 2021, but now that he's been signed by Atlanta, the 30-year-old will look to carve out a role in the team's line rotation.

Off reserve/left squad list
Goldman (undisclosed) was released from the reserve/left squad list by the Falcons on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Goldman signed a contract with the Falcons in July 2022 after he spent six seasons with the Bears. However, a couple of weeks later, the Florida State product opted to retire instead. He attempted a comeback in 2023 but that ended with him once again walking away from Atlanta and being placed on the exempt/left squad list.

Shifts to reserve list
The Falcons placed Goldman (undisclosed) on the reserve/left squad list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Goldman had previously been reinstated from the reserve/retired list back in March, but it looks like his NFL career is now definitively over. Coach Arthur Smith clarified in July that Goldman wouldn't play again for Atlanta during the 2023 campaign.

Officially lands on exempt list
The Falcons placed Goldman (undisclosed) on the exempt/left squad list Saturday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Goldman's career appears to be coming to a definitive end after he was reinstated from the Falcons' reserve/retired list in March. The 29-year-old essentially unretired after walking away for the entire 2022 campaign, though he missed practice Friday while once again considering retirement, and head coach Arthur Smith said Saturday that the defensive tackle will not play for Atlanta in 2023. If this is ultimately the end for Goldman, he will wrap up his career with 175 tackles and 13 sacks over…read more

Set to move on from Atlanta
Head coach Arthur Smith told reporters Saturday that Goldman "will not be out there with us" for the 2023 season after missing practice Friday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com, Smith said Friday that Goldman was absent from Friday's practice for personal reasons and has been considering retirement for a second time. Goldman initially hung up his cleats in 2022 before being reinstated from the reserve/retired list in March.

Considering retirement again
Head coach Arthur Smith told reporters Friday that Goldman, who was absent from practice for personal reasons, is considering retiring for a second time, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Goldman was reinstated from the reserve/retired list in March after initially hanging up his cleats last July. Smith noted that Goldman looked "phenomenal" when he showed up Tuesday for check-in and is hoping to have an answer about Goldman's status by Saturday. Goldman last played for Chicago in 2021, when he posted 22 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 14 games.

Opting out for health reasons
Goldman plans to opt out of the 2020 season due to health concerns related to COVID-19, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old nose tackle started 46 regular-season games over the past three years, averaging 37.7 tackles and 1.8 sacks per season. Goldman joins the growing list of players who will sit out the 2020 campaign, potentially freeing up a starting job for 31-year-old John Jenkins.

Could see more versatile role
Goldman could take snaps at positions other than nose tackle in 2020 with defensive line coach Jay Rodgers emphasizing versatility and moving around the formation, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Analysis: Goldman hasn't been asked to move around the formation much in his previous five seasons with the Bears, having primarily taken snaps at nose tackle over that stretch. Coming off the lowest sack total of his career, taking down opposing quarterbacks just once across 15 games in 2019, it's possible that assuming additional roles could offer a minor boost to Goldman's IDP value.

Listed as DNP
Goldman (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Heads off to locker room early
Goldman (concussion) had to go to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Goldman's return should be considered questionable at this time. The depth of Chicago's defensive line will be tested with Goldman joining the inactive Akiem Hicks (elbow) on the sidelines, at least for now.

Questionable for Sunday
Goldman (thigh) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Goldman suffered the thigh injury during last week's loss to the Eagles but practiced in full Friday, so he has a good chance to play Week 10. Nick Williams would see a heavier workload at nose tackle should Goldman be unable to suit up.

Battling thigh injury
Goldman (thigh) is listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: A thigh injury forced Goldman out of this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles, and he's still dealing with the effects. The fourth-year pro still has two practices to get back on the field. Nick Williams, who posted his fifth sack of the season Sunday, stands to benefit the most if Goldman can't play in Week 10's matchup against the Lions.

Gets hurt Sunday
Goldman (thigh) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: It's unclear how Goldman picked up the injury, but he's been on the stationary bike and stretching on the sidelines trying to get back into the game. As long as he's sidelined, Nick Williams will likely get the bulk of the nose tackle reps in the game.
