Burden Out Weeks After Strong Camp | NFL News
Description
Chicago Bears’ rising star Luther Burden III is sidelined for weeks after a groin strain during Saturday’s practice, a blow to both his momentum and the team’s preseason prep. The injury occurred in one-on-one drills when he tangled with cornerback Tyrique Stevenson—Stevenson played on, Burden didn’t. Burden, who had a breakout rookie season with 47 catches for 652 yards and 2 TDs, was poised for a bigger role this year, impressing coaches with his evolving route tree and unique skill set. With a key scrimmage looming Tuesday and multiple projected starters—including Kyler Gordon and Montez Sweat—also banged up, Burden’s absence adds pressure as the offense gears up. Still, he’s upbeat about his growth and eager to return strong.
