Chicago Bears rookie receiver Luther Burden III sustained a quad injury Sunday night in the loss at San Francisco, according to reports.
The injury occurred on the final play of the 49ers' 42-38 victory but is not thought to be serious, per the reports. He attempted to walk off the field with assistance before being carted to the locker room.
Burden, 22, enjoyed the finest game of his debut campaign before the injury, setting season highs in targets (nine), catches (eight) and receiving yards (138) and catching a 35-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. He had one fourth-quarter drop on a third-down play that would have converted a first down, but Chicago moved the chains on the next play.
Burden, who missed the previous week's win against the Green Bay Packers with an ankle injury, will undergo additional testing on Monday.
The 2025 second-round pick has 44 receptions for 617 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (four starts) for the NFC North champion Bears (11-5), who wrap up the regular season Sunday at home against the Detroit Lions (8-8).
