Luther Burden III Could See Increased Opportunity After Kmet Injury
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III stands to benefit from the season-ending knee injury suffered by tight end Cole Kmet. With Kmet sidelined, the Bears are expected to scale back their usage of multi-tight end formations. This tactical shift is projected to create more frequent pass-catching opportunities for Burden, who has previously run routes on a limited percentage of multi-tight end plays through the first six weeks of the season.
