24 December 2025

Burden now has a chance to play in Week 17 against the 49ers. The Bears’ rookie wide receiver earned six-to-seven targets in each of his last three games and would return to WR4/FLEX territory if he can suit up on game day this week. The Bears (11-4) sit atop the NFC North while the 49ers (11-4) trail the Seahawks (12-3), who hold the conference’s No. 1 seed.
