Burden sidelined by soft tissue injury since minicamp; contract holdout could limit early-season availability.
Luther BurdenWR
Burden III, drafted in the second round in 2025, is one of the dynamic playmaking additions to the Bears offense. However, he has not been on the field since suffering a soft tissue injury in rookie minicamp. The source notes that missed time in camp is significant for first-year players, and if the ongoing second-round contract holdout remains unresolved into August, Burden's presence early in the season could be curtailed, similar to how Roquan Smith started his rookie season on a pitch count after a contract dispute.
