What is the story about?
The Chicago Bears
won an ugly, turnover-filled game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a walk-off field goal by Cairo Santos, and they needed to do so without one of their top receivers. Luther Burden exited Sunday's 27-24 win in the fourth quarter after taking a shot to the head on a screen pass that caused him to fumble the ball. Burden was able to walk off the field but did not return, and now we know the extent of his injury.After the game, head coach Ben Johnson met with the media and confirmed Burden is dealing with a concussion, via ESPN's Courtney Cronin. This is Burden's second concussion of his NFL career. He first suffered one last year in late October and missed a game.
Prior to exiting Sunday's win, Burden caught seven passes for
97 yards and a touchdown, which led the team. With a bye week to rest, we'll see what Burden's status is going into Week 11 when the Bears take on the New Orleans Saints.
