Luther Burden III News
Wednesday, August 26, 9:30 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (groin) was back on the field Wednesday for the first time since getting injured on Aug. 8, according to Sean Hammond. Burden only took part in a short, light practice, so this wasn't a full return to action, but it's an encouraging step after more than two weeks on the sideline. The Bears previously expected him to miss the entire preseason while hoping to have him available for their Sept. 13 opener against Carolina. Burden remains listed as a starter on Chicago's latest unofficial depth chart after catching 47 passes for 652 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games as a rookie. With DJ Moore traded to Buffalo during the offseason, Burden is positioned for a larger role alongside Rome Odunze in his second season. Wednesday's limited work is a positive sign, though he'll still need to progress beyond a light practice before his Week 1 status can be considered settled.

Carnell Tate News
Sunday, August 23, 7:45 PM
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh is not concerned about the lack of targets for wide receiver Carnell Tate. Tate has been held without a catch on five targets through two preseason games, which is concerning given the Titans' passing production in recent seasons. Saleh brushed off the concerns, saying, "When it's time to scheme, we'll get the guys the rock." The fourth-overall pick played on 16 of quarterback Cam Ward's 22 offensive snaps and was used across the formation. With offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's history with star receivers, including Malik Nabers and Stefon Diggs, the Titans should have no trouble scheming targets for Tate this season.
