Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and head coach Ben Johnson had an update on his condition after the contest.
Burden, who hauled in seven catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s victory at Soldier Field, caught a screen pass in the fourth quarter of the game and was running upfield when he was clobbered by Tampa Bay linebacker Rueben Bain Jr.
Burden immediately crumpled to the ground and fumbled the football, which was recovered by the Buccaneers.
Fortunately Burden was able to walk off the field under his own power, but according to Johnson he will be entering the NFL’s concussion protocol after absorbing helmet-to-helmet contact on the hit from Bain.
Burden is the Bears’ leading wide receiver this season, leading the team in receptions (49), yards (644) and touchdowns (four). He has really emerged in his second season with the Bears, establishing himself as a bonafide threat on every play and as a player capable of running tough routes and of finding open space on screen passes and even some designed runs.
He will have two weeks to recover from his concussion before the Bears next take the field, as they’ll head into their bye week before hosting the New Orleans Saints on November 22.
