"Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III suffered a quad injury Sunday night that is not thought to be serious, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Burden suffered the injury on the final play of Chicago's 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He attempted to walk off the field with trainers but eventually needed to be carted to the Bears' locker room. Burden, who also missed Chicago's Week 16 game with an ankle injury, will undergo additional testing Monday, the source told Schefter."
"The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Burden, who delivered the best game of his rookie season Sunday night, finishing with eight catches for 138 yards -- both season highs -- and a touchdown. Burden has emerged as a key weapon in Chicago's offense, hauling in 18 receptions for 289 yards over his last three games. The Bears' second-round selection in this year's draft, Burden has 44 catches for 617 yards and two touchdowns this season."
Luther Burden III suffered a quad injury on the final play of Chicago's 42-38 loss to San Francisco and was carted to the locker room. The injury is not thought to be serious and Burden will undergo additional testing on Monday. Burden missed Week 16 with an ankle injury and downplayed the quad, saying he "gave it my all out there" and that he was "tired as hell." He finished with eight catches for 138 yards and a touchdown, bringing his season totals to 44 catches for 617 yards and two touchdowns. Chicago is 11-5, has clinched the NFC North, and hosts Detroit in Week 18 while still pursuing the No. 2 seed.
