Bears HC Ben Johnson provides injury update on Luther Burden
Bears head coach Ben Johnson shared an update on Luther Burden during his postgame comments after Sunday's win over the Buccaneers.
The Chicago Bears secured a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a turnover-riddled contest, but they had to do so without a key player. Receiver Luther Burden left the game in the fourth quarter after taking a blow to the head on a screen pass, which resulted in him fumbling the ball. Despite walking off the field, Burden did not return to the game.
Head coach Ben Johnson addressed the media post-game and confirmed that Burden is currently dealing with a concussion, marking his second such injury in the NFL. The first incident occurred last year in October, causing Burden to miss a game. Prior to his exit, Burden had been a standout performer, catching seven passes for 97 yards and a touchdown, leading the team.
With a bye week on the horizon, the Bears will need to assess Burden's condition as they prepare to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 11.
