The Chicago Bears' prime-time win didn't come without a cost.
Wide receiver Luther Burden III suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of a 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, head coach Ben Johnson told reporters post-game.
The second-year receiver suffered the injury with just under four minutes remaining in the final frame, when he received a screen pass and appeared to take a helmet-on-helmet hit from Buccaneers linebacker Rueben Bain Jr.
Burden III fumbled on the play — for Chicago's fifth turnover on the night — as he fell to the ground and the ball was recovered by Tampa Bay. There was no penalty called on the play.
The 22-year-old would eventually get up and make his way off the field and into the medical tent, but did not return to the game.
He finished the game with seven receptions for 97 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown.
Burden III was a second-round pick (39th overall) by the Bears last season and, after a modest rookie campaign, has stepped up as QB Caleb Williams' top target. He entered Sunday leading Chicago in targets (56), receptions (42), receiving yards (547) and touchdown catches (three).
The Bears have a bye week next and won't return to action until Nov. 22, when they host the New Orleans Saints.
