Bearswide receiver Luther Burden will play Sunday against the 49ers.
Burden sprained his ankle against the Browns and didn’t play against the Packers but returned to practice this week. He was a full participant for the first time Friday.
“He looks like Burden,” coach Ben Johnson said.
The Bears ruled out receiver Rome Odunze, who is still dealing with a chronic foot issue.
At various points this week, the Bears have held out cornerbacks Josh Blackwell and Nick McCloud, receiver Devin Duvernay and linebacker D’Marco Jackson because of illness.
