Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III suffered a groin injury during Saturday's practice and will miss some time, according to a source speaking to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The injury occurred during red zone one-on-ones when Burden and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson got tangled up while Stevenson broke up a pass from quarterback Caleb Williams. Stevenson appeared to be in visible pain after landing on his back and required treatment from a trainer on the sideline.

Despite the discomfort, Stevenson continued to participate in practice, though he had to exit an 11-on-11 period. Burden walked gingerly toward the weight room but did not return to practice.

The Bears have not publicly disclosed the specifics of Burden's injury. ESPN's Courtney Cronin contributed to this report.
