Bears rookie WR Luther Burden making progress

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- After spending more than two months sidelined with a hamstring injury that he sustained during OTAs, Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III wasn't looking to ease his way into practice once he was cleared for training camp on July 28.

Bears coach Ben Johnson took that same approach with the second-round pick. While his workload increased each day during the second week of camp, the tolerance for mental errors and mistakes was as low for Burden as it was any other player who didn't have as much catching up to do.
