One Chicago Bears rookie might be wishing he had stayed inside with the training staff instead of returning to practice this week.
On Monday, Luther Burden III returned to practice for the first time since he suffered a hamstring injury during rookie minicamp in May. The wide receiver was expected to ramp up his participation in drills on Tuesday.
Chicago Bears HC Ben Johnson screamed at Luther Burden III
Per multiple reports, head coach Ben Johnson screamed at Burden and kicked him out of a team drill after the No. 39 pick lined up incorrectly pre-snap.
“Ben Johnson screams at Luther Burden and kicks him out of the team drill,” posted @ilannfl on X.

Before practice on Tuesday, Johnson told the media at Halas Hall that he felt Burden was “behind” at training camp this summer after spending OTAs inside with the training staff.
“It shows up already,” Johnson said of Burden missing time this offseason. “I mean, we were in the walk-through yesterday afternoon and the misalignments – we have to re-huddle, we have to start it all over again. He’s a little bit behind right now.”
Johnson has screamed at several people during practices, including quarterback Caleb Williams and tight end Cole Kmet. On Tuesday, Johnson praised Williams for the progress he has shown since April.
Burden will have an opportunity to show development during the preseason.
But right now, he’s in the dog house.
