Bears receiver Luther Burden expected to miss time with groin injury

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden is dealing with a groin injury and is expected to miss some practice time. The injury occurred during a recent practice session and follows high expectations for Burden in his second NFL season, building off a productive rookie year with 652 receiving yards. The injury raises concerns about the Bears' offensive strategy as the regular season approaches in five weeks, particularly with Burden's crucial role in head coach Ben Johnson’s offense. The team has also faced other injury issues, including a knee injury to Coby Bryant, compounding their concerns ahead of the season opener against the Carolina Panthers on September 13.
