Ben Johnson confirms Luther Burden’s injury status after Bears win

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson confirmed that wide receiver Luther Burden III suffered a concussion during the team's narrow win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Burden was shaken up and lost a fumble following a hard collision with Buccaneers rookie linebacker Rueben Bain Jr. late in the game, which concluded with a game-winning kick from Cairo Santos.

The incident marks Burden's second documented concussion in two seasons, following one sustained the prior year against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Chicago entering a bye week, Burden has approximately 13 days to progress through concussion protocol before a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Bears players Kyle Monangai and Tyrique Stevenson are also managing injuries.
