Mixed bag for Bears' rookie class on Day 1 of training camp as WR Luther Burden III remains out

It’s going to take the Bears a while to figure out what they’re getting from their rookie class, especially as some of the top players they drafted deal with injuries.

Tight end Colston Loveland, the No. 10 pick, was on the field for the first day of training camp Wednesday, but was limited. General manager Ryan Poles indicated there likely will be a ramp-up period as he recovers from shoulder surgery.

Second-rounder Luther Burden III, a major investment at wide receiver by Poles and coach Ben Johnson with the 39th overall pick, didn’t practice Wednesday as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
