The Bears’ second-round pick practiced for the first time in training camp Monday after recovering from a hamstring injury. He didn’t participate in team drills, though, as he begins his ramp-up period that looks similar to what the Bears have done with other injured players over the past week.

Coach Ben Johnson said on Saturday he hoped Burden would return soon. Receiver DJ Moore said then that Burden, the former Missouri star, had been attentive in meetings all camp.

“He gets called on in meetings and he knows his plays,” Moore said.
