It must be nice to be one of the head coach’s handpicked rookies, but it isn’t buying Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III any margin on the practice field. He’s been back two days, and coach Ben Johnson got on him about lining up incorrectly twice.
After it happened Monday, Johnson acknowledged Tuesday morning that Burden is “a little behind right now” after missing significant time in offseason practices and the first week of training camp because of a hamstring injury. A similar issue popped in practice Tuesday, when Johnson stepped in to reset a play after Burden appeared to lined up in the wrong place.
