Ian Rapoport of NFL.com expects Martin (ankle) to play Sunday against the Bears.

Analysis:

We'll confirm this prior to game time, but all signs had been leading up to Martin making his return to the field following a three-game absence. Rapoport also expects rookie Charles Sims (ankle) to play, which leaves the carry distribution in Tampa Bay a little bit cloudy at the moment.
