Luther Burden III scores early, departs late with head injury
Luther Burden III led the Bears with a 7-97-1 line but left the game after suffering a concussion late in Week 9.
In the midst of the Chicago Bears' game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, cornerback Kyler Gordon experienced an apparent injury early in the third quarter. The incident occurred during the Buccaneers' opening drive, when quarterback Baker Mayfield threw a deep pass to wide receiver Tez Johnson, resulting in a touchdown. Despite managing to make a tackle, Gordon sustained an undisclosed injury that forced him to leave the field.
Following a sideline examination, he was taken to the locker room. At present, Gordon's availability for the remainder of the match remains uncertain. The news of his injury has been shared by Twitter user @_MarcusD3_ on November 9, 2026.
Gordon had previously missed the first five weeks of the season due to a calf injury. His playing time has been inconsistent since the 2025 season. Additionally, the Bears are facing a potential void at the cornerback position, as Tyrique Stevenson is listed as questionable with a hand injury. The Bears currently lead the Buccaneers by a score of 17-13 in the third quarter.
