Overview
- Burden practiced in a light, limited capacity on Wednesday, marking his first on-field work since suffering a groin injury on August 8.
- Early reports had projected about a month sidelined, so the quick return to limited work is a positive sign for a possible Sept. 13 debut at Carolina.
- The Bears did not place Burden on an injury list, which keeps him eligible to play as soon as team doctors give medical clearance.
- Chicago has adjusted reps and added short-term depth during camp to cover injuries, reflecting Burden’s elevated role after DJ Moore’s offseason departure.
- The team flew to Nashville for joint practice with the Titans and will play the preseason finale on Saturday, leaving only a short window for Burden to ramp up and prove game readiness.
