Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is expected to miss the remainder of training camp due to a groin injury he sustained two weeks ago. Despite the setback, Burden's recovery is reportedly going well, with hopes of being ready for the regular season opener against the Carolina Panthers on September 13. His absence is felt by teammates, including Rome Odunze, who highlighted Burden's energy and potential impact on the team's offense.
