View AllLuther Burden to Miss Entire Preseason with Groin Injury, Still Expected Back for Week 1
Bears WR Luther Burden’s groin injury timeline stretched today, with the WR now expected to miss the entire preseason, about a month, after initial estimates suggested only “a little bit of time.” The good news is that ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Bears still expect him back for the regular season.
Luther Burden Leaves with Injury

Rome Odunze Has Stress Fracture In Foot
Bears WR Rome Odunze has been playing through a stress fracture in his foot, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It's unclear when Odunze suffered the injury. He was on the injury report with a heel as far back as Week 9, but this week is the first time he's been listed with a foot. Pelissero adds that Odunze "just needs rest and is week-to-week. The belief is it’s nothing long term and he’ll be back soon." We'll keep you updated on Odunze's health going forward, but he seems more likely than not to miss multiple games with this injury. His absence leaves behind 7.5 targets per game, boosting the fantasy outlooks on WRs Luther Burden, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus and TE Colston Loveland.
