Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is expected to miss some time as he recovers from a groin injury, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Burden went down awkwardly in practice Saturday and was seen leaving early with a trainer. While the good news was that the wideout was able to walk off under his own power, he was walking gingerly.
It looked like a lower-body issue, and now we know it is a groin injury. These issues can be problematic and easily aggravated, so the Bears may be a little more cautious with his recovery. The good news is that Chicago's regular season start is more than a month away, giving Burden time to recover.
The biggest problem in the interim is that without Burden, the Bears' wide receiver depth looks very thin.
Chicago opted to trade away veteran wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills in the offseason. That puts a lot of pressure and faith into the Bears' young wide receiver foundation in Rome Odunze and Burden.
