AutoDraft Pro AI

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden suffered a quad injury on the final play of Sunday night's 42-38 loss to the 49ers, requiring him to be carted off the field. Despite the visual, the injury is not believed to be serious, and he will undergo further tests on Monday. Burden had a huge, career-high game before the injury, hauling in 8 of 9 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown. With the Bears having clinched the NFC North, there's a possibility the team may opt to rest starters, including Burden, in Week 18 against the Lions.
