Luther Burden III News

Luther Burden III Diagnosed with a Concussion

Sunday, November 8, 7:14 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Burden exited after taking a scary head-to-head hit late in the fourth quarter of the Bears' victory. He immediately collapsed to the ground after the hit and required medical assistance. The 22-year-old finished Week 9 with nine targets, seven catches, 97 yards, and one touchdown. If there's any good news here, it's that the Bears have a Week 10 bye, so Burden will get extra time to recover. Clearing concussion protocol in one week is tricky, but Burden will have 14 days for his symptoms to improve before the Bears play again. In the event that his recovery takes longer than expected and he has to miss Week 11 as well, then Kalif Raymond and Zavion Thomas would handle a significant increase in offensive snaps.

Carnell Tate Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Friday, November 13, 6:51 AM

Tennessee Titans rookie first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Paul Kuharsky. Tate missed practice Wednesday and Thursday after Tennessee's bye and is set to miss his second straight game. He leads the Titans with 413 receiving yards and caught 11 passes for 139 yards in his last two games against Indianapolis and Cleveland. In the first game without Tate, tight end Gunnar Helm led Tennessee with nine targets in an overtime loss to Cincinnati. Wan'Dale Robinson led the wide receivers with seven targets and caught six passes for 57 yards and a touchdown, keeping him the strongest PPR option among Tennessee's wideouts this week. Chimere Dike went from 13 offensive snaps against Cleveland to 63 against Cincinnati, the biggest increase among Tennessee's wide receivers. That put him ahead of Elic Ayomanor (50) and Calvin Ridley (40). Dike caught five of six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown, topping the 53 receiving yards he had through the first seven weeks.
