Out for Week 16 Burden (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Packers.

Impact Since injuring his ankle during this past Sunday's win against the Browns, Burden wasn't able to practice in any capacity and now will miss his second contest of the campaign. He'll be joining Rome Odunze (foot) on the sidelined Saturday, while Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay will take on expanded roles alongside DJ Moore. Burden's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 28 in San Francisco.

Bears host Packers in rematch with NFC North lead on the line

The Chicago Bears hope to get some payback against the Green Bay Packers for a loss at Lambeau Field two weeks ago in a rematch with heavy playoff implications

No practice Wednesday Burden (ankle) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Burden was taking advantage of an absent Rome Odunze (foot) this past Sunday versus the Browns, hauling in six of seven targets for 84 yards before exiting in the third quarter with an ankle injury. On Monday, coach Ben Johnson called Burden "day-to-day," per Chris Kwiecinski of Fox 32 Chicago, but both he and Odunze have yet to mix into any drills this week. Thursday's practice report will reveal Burden's odds, if any, to suit up Saturday against the Packers.

Absent from Tuesday's session Burden (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Burden was one of two receivers the Bears estimated as non-participants Tuesday, with Rome Odunze (foot) also missing from the walk-through. While Odunze has been sidelined for the Bears' past two games, Burden has seen his playing time increase and has capitalized on his opportunities, stringing together a 10-151-0 receiving line on 13 targets between those contests. However, after tweaking his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns, Burden is now being viewed as day-to-day ahead of a critical matchup with the Packers in Week 16. Burden will still have two more chances to potentially fit in some practice activity this week before the Bears decide whether he carries a designation into Saturday's game.

Caleb Williams looks forward to the rematch against the Packers after the Bears rout the Browns

Caleb Williams quickly turn his attention toward a rematch with the Green Bay Packers after the Chicago Bears pounded the Cleveland Browns

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Called day-to-day Bears coach Ben Johnson said Monday that Burden (ankle) is day-to-day, Chris Kwiecinski of Fox 32 reports.

Impact Burden was forced out of Chicago's win over the Browns on Sunday early due to an ankle injury, and it sounds like his availability for Week 16 won't be determined until after the Bears have had opportunities to evaluate the rookie wideout at practice. If Burden is unable to play Saturday versus the Packers, Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay will stand to handle expanded roles in the receiving game, especially with Rome Odunze (foot) looking uncertain.

Injures ankle Sunday Burden sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Impact With fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out shortly before kickoff, Burden and the rest of the Bears' receiving corps experienced a potential uptick in usage, and Burden responded with six catches (on seven targets) for 84 yards before exiting in the third quarter. This new health concern combined with the fact Jahdae Walker was a healthy scratch means DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay are the only healthy and available options at the position.

Earns six targets Burden recorded four receptions on six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added one rush for three yards.

Impact Burden led the Bears in targets and yards with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, while D.J. Moore remained uninvolved. Burden was primarily targeted in short areas of the field, though he did get behind the Packers' defense for a 27-yard gain late in the fourth quarter as the Bears attempted to rally to tie the game. Burden's involvement in Chicago's offense has steadily crept up in recent weeks, as he now has at least five targets in four straight contests. He set his highest yardage total in that span with his performance Sunday, though Burden could continue to emerge in the final handful of remaining weeks of the regular season.
