Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III expected to miss month with groin injury

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is expected to miss approximately one month due to a groin injury sustained during training camp. The injury occurred during a collision with cornerback Tyrique Stevenson during one-on-one drills, causing the second-year receiver to leave practice early.

While the injury is a setback for the offense, sources indicate there is hope that Burden will be available for the season opener against the Carolina Panthers. Burden, a 2025 second-round pick, is expected to take on a prominent role following the offseason trade of veteran D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills.
