Wide receiver Luther Burden III’s family doesn’t own a lot of Bears jerseys.
He’s told them to hold off until cut day — not because he’s worried about making the team, but because he wants to change his number once the Bears’ roster is shortened from 90 players to 53.
He didn’t like No. 87 when the Bears assigned it to him after the draft, and he’s not crazy about it now. Harlon Hill wore it for the Bears, and so did Muhsin Muhammad and Tom Waddell, but it doesn’t feel quite right to Burden.
