Luther Burden III (ankle) ruled out for Week 16

Luther Burden III has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Burden and Rome Odunze have both been ruled out for the Bears. It could be even more of a run-heavy approach for the Bears offense against a Packers defense without Micah Parsons. Colston Loveland could also be among the pass catchers to see a bigger role.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie was not able to take part in Chicago's practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury that he's dealing with. It looks like it may leave him sidelined for Saturday night's game, but we won't know for sure until later on in the week.
