Luther Burden limps off field during Bears practice on August 8
Summary

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III exited practice on August 8 after suffering a leg injury. The injury occurred during a 1-on-1 drill, leading Burden to favor his left leg as he left the field with medical staff assistance. The Bears have not provided an immediate update on his condition. Burden, who had 47 catches for 652 yards and two touchdowns last season, is expected to be a focal point in the Bears' offense following the offseason trade of DJ Moore. If Burden's injury affects his availability, Kalif Raymond may take over as the No. 2 receiver.
