Luther Burden III injury during Chicago Bears training camp

Overview

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III sustained a groin injury during training camp practice following a collision with cornerback Tyrique Stevenson during one-on-one drills. The injury, which occurred during his second year with the team, was expected to sideline the 2025 second-round pick for approximately one month.

As the team moved through the preseason, it was confirmed that Burden would miss the remainder of the preseason period. Despite this setback, the organization remained hopeful that he would be available for the season opener against the Carolina Panthers on September 13. Burden was expected to play a prominent role in the offense following the offseason trade of veteran D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills.

On August 26, during the team’s 19th training camp session, Burden returned to practice to perform individual drills, marking a significant step in his recovery from the injury sustained on August 8.

During subsequent joint practices in Nashville, Burden returned to the field alongside Darnell Wright. These practices were marked by significant tension between the Bears and the Tennessee Titans following a physical encounter. Titans head coach Robert Saleh criticized Bears safety Xavier Woods for a “cheap” hit on wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, an incident that led to a concussion evaluation and a brawl between players.
