Bears wide receiver Luther Burden had a big game in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers, but the rookie ended the night with a quad injury.

Burden, who missed the Packers game last week because of a sprained ankle, led the Bears with eight catches and 138 yards in the team’s 42-38 loss to the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. His performance was needed, given that Rome Odunze remains out with a chronic foot issue and DJ Moore was slowed by an illness and finished with one catch for seven yards.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III let a national audience know he is a future star. His girlfriend Kendall Minglae also was stunned and reacted to his performance on Sunday Night Football vs. the San Francisco 49ers.
