That, however, doesn't mean he will play Sunday against the Chicago Bears. "I'd caution reading too much [into] him being out there and being back," HC Jim Schwartz said. "The big thing with Nate is when we do get him back, we're going to get him back, but we want to make sure he's back for good. To do that, we have to avoid setbacks and stuff like that. But he's doing well." Schwartz said it is too early to make a determination of whether or not Burleson will play Sunday, but how he is able to handle contact will play a role in his status against the Bears. Before his injury, Burleson caught 19 passes for 239 yards.
