Bears rest TE Trey Burton after ‘sluggish’ practices

Bears tight end Trey Burton went through the first five practices of training camp, which seemed like progress in his return from sports hernia surgery. However, coach Matt Nagy thought he struggled near the end of that stretch and held him out Friday and Saturday.

“This is a guy that really hasn’t done anything for five months,” Nagy said. “If you don’t do something for five months, it takes a little bit of time.

“I felt like we might have been putting too much on him right away, so I’m going to, days-off-wise, just make sure I’m being real cautious with him.
