Bears TE Trey Burton cleared after offseason surgery

BOURBONNAIS -- Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton took the field for Chicago’s first training camp practice on Friday, roughly two months after undergoing sports hernia surgery to repair a lingering issue that sidelined Burton for their playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in January.

“I’m still working. I feel like I’m doing pretty good. I’m just taking it slow,” Burton said after Friday’s workout, which was closed to the public.

“My offseason was different. I’ve never had anything like this. I’ve never had an injury that’s kept me out more than a week, so it’s a learning curve and you have to learn how to take it slow and not rush too fast.
