Luther Burden III Set to Undergo Additional Testing on Quad Injury
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (quadriceps), who was carted off the field after Sunday night's game, suffered a quad injury that is not thought to be serious. He will undergo additional testing today, ESPN's NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports. The very last play of the game, with the Bears down 42-38, they had the ball inside the red zone, and while quarterback Caleb Williams was scrambling, trying to find an open receiver in the end zone to win the game, Burden was crunched between a few defenders and was down on the field. After the incomplete pass, the game ended so abruptly, and the 49ers team stormed the field. We saw a quick mention of Burden being down on the field; however, on television, it was never further discussed. The additional testing on Monday morning will provide further clarity into the severity of his injury. Fantasy managers who are still competing in Week 18 will want to keep their eyes on this, as Rome Odunze(foot) has missed the last few games and Burden has taken advantage of his opportunities. Olamide Zaccheaus and Jahdae Walker would likely see an increased amount of playing time should Burden miss any time. At the same time, DJ Moore and Colston Loveland would likely be the biggest beneficiaries.
