Bears coach Ben Johnson backs Luther Burden for expanded role in 2026

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has signalled strong confidence in second-year wide receiver Luther Burden as the team prepares for the 2026 season. Burden is set to assume a significantly expanded role in the offence, a shift necessitated by the trade of primary target D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills and the departure of Olamide Zaccheaus to the Atlanta Falcons. Although Burden’s rookie campaign yielded modest volume stats—47 receptions for 652 yards and two touchdowns—coaches have praised his high efficiency and explosive athleticism. Metrics indicate he ranked third in yards per route run and fifth in yards after catch among qualifying receivers. CBS Sports has projected Burden to record 72 catches for 1,007 yards and six touchdowns in the upcoming season.
