Luther Burden III misses mandatory minicamp with soft tissue injury
Bears rookie WR Luther Burden was sidelined through mandatory minicamp with a soft tissue injury.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear when Burden will be able to return to full health. It could be in the Bears final OTA session next week. He will likely enter the season as the WR3 for Chicago behind DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. With Ben Johnson expected to run a lot of 12 personnel, it is unclear how much opportunity Burden might see in year one this season. He has yet to sign his rookie contract as well.

Lamar Jackson: contract extension is ‘on the docket’
Ian Rapoport reported that a contract extension for Lamar Jackson is “on the docket for the Ravens.”
Fantasy Impact
Jackson is expected to be extended before he enters a contract year. If the two sides can land an extension this offseason, it would open up cap space to allow Baltimore to make other moves.
