The Chicago Bears threw a screen pass to Luther Burden on a critical third down late in the fourth quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football in Week 9 and watched the worst possible scenario play out. Burden fumbled the ball when he tackled short of the sticks, and then exited the game with a possible head injury. Tampa Bay would take over in premium field position, and tie the game a few plays later.

Burden caught a 56-yard touchdown pass earlier in the game by showcasing his signature YAC (yards after catch) ability. It looked like Burden took a direct shot to the head from Tampa Bay rookie defensive lineman Rueben Bain and instantly dropped the ball. He was brought into the blue medical tent and has not returned to the game. Watch the play where Burden was injured an fumbled here:

We’ll update this story on Burden’s condition when there’s an update from the team.
