Luther Burden III’s Bears journey unfolds as a jersey saga that hints at a rising fantasy asset. Drafted 2025, he started in No. 87, switched to 13, then settled at No. 10 when cuts finalized, only to pivot again to No. 10 as the roster stabilized. The piece ties Burden’s evolving number to his speed and potential early target share, while highlighting the quirky history of No. 13 for Bears receivers and signaling jersey-driven hype for Burden’s rookie season.

Colts sign Tyler Scott and Ben Nikkel to the practice squad, while Tyler Kahmann exits. Scott brings special-teams value and speed from Chicago, with limited immediate WR upside behind a crowded room. Nikkel, Iowa State product, arrives as a core preseason special-teams piece who could spell depth on defense if ever elevated. Kahmann’s removal tightens a WR group already deep behind Pittman, Pierce, Downs, Mitchell, Dulin, and Gould, highlighting Colts’ preference for ST versatility and roster flexibility.

Tyler Scott pivots from Bears to the Colts practice squad as Chicago reshuffles a crowded WR room that now includes Luther Burden III, Olamide Zaccheaus and Jahdae Walker. Chicago also cut ten of 21 Poles-era picks, underscoring a rebuild shift. Indianapolis gathers speed and depth behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce, while Scott’s upside—plus Zaccheaus’ slot role—keeps fantasy managers watching the Colts’ young corps and Bears’ evolving depth chart.

Colts sign Tyler Scott to the practice squad, adding a former Bears fourth-round pick who has 18 catches for 173 yards in two seasons and return experience. Colts now at 15 on the practice squad, with two spots open thanks to Maximilian Mang’s International Pathway designation, paving the way for additional depth at receiver and return duties.
