Bears tight end Trey Burton, who did not have a catch for the second time in as many games, hurt his calf Sunday. He’s been hampered by a groin injury all year long.

“I feel like for him,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said Monday. “He’s not at that 100 percent level, so it’s trying to say, ‘OK, what are the right routes for him to do to where you feel that burst or you feel like he can beat man coverage?’

“He’s giving it everything he can. And that’s just kind of where we’re at.”

Nagy was vague, though, when asked what tight end Adam Shaheen could do to get back on the field. The former second-round pick was a healthy scratch Sunday for the first time in his career.

“We want all of our players to be able to be completely detailed and play hard,” Nagy said. “And do everything they can to be the best player they can be.”
