Luther Burden III Still in Concussion Protocol, Not Practicing
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) was listed as limited after picking up a DNP tag on Wednesday. Burden suffered a concussion in the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and is now trending toward missing the Week 9 contest in Cincinnati against the Bengals this Sunday. Top wideouts Rome Odunze (heel) and DJ Moore (groin, hip) also missed practice on Wednesday, but they both were back on the field on Thursday and should be able to suit up this weekend. If Burden doesn't get cleared from the league's concussion protocol, Zaccheaus would serve as Chicago's WR3 if he's active against the Bengals. Fantasy managers should not be planning on having the 21-year-old Burden available as a flex play in deeper leagues.
