Treylon Burks Injury News & Updates

Burks has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a finger injury.

Burks was signed to the Commanders' active roster this past Tuesday and made an impact during Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Lions, when led Washington with 58 receiving yards on three catches. However, the 2022 first-rounder came out of that contest with a finger injury, which was severe enough for him to undergo surgery Monday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Burks will miss Sunday's game in Spain, but the finger injury isn't considered a long-term issue, meaning he could be cleared to return following the Commanders' Week 12 bye.

Burks secured all three of his targets for 58 yards during Sunday's 44-22 loss to Detroit.

Burks led Washington in terms of receiving yards against Detroit with Marcus Mariota under center and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) sidelined, though he was outpaced by both Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz in terms of targets. As Burks was signed to the active roster in advance of Sunday's contest, he'll get another chance to contribute on offense as the Commanders travel to Madrid in Week 11 to take on the Dolphins. If McLaurin is unavailable again versus Miami, Burks could be considered as an emergency pivot option at wide receiver in deeper fantasy formats.

Washington signed Burks to its active roster Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Commanders are dealing with injuries to multiple notable contributors at wide receiver, so it's not a huge surprise to see them bring up reinforcements at the position. Burks logged 32 offensive snaps in his first game with Washington in Week 9, bringing in his only target for 14 yards.

Burks reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

After joining the Commanders' practice squad in mid-October, Burks got his first elevation ahead of Sunday's loss to Seattle. He logged a pretty hefty workload with 33 of 65 offensive snaps, finishing fourth among Washington's wideouts. Burks caught his only target for 14 yards in the contest and also played two snaps on special teams. Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) missed the matchup and isn't expected to return in Week 10, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, and Luke McCaffrey fractured his collarbone Sunday, so there's a good chance Burks will be active again this Sunday versus Detroit.

Burks caught his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

The 2022 first-round pick from Arkansas was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad to the active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver, with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) sidelined Sunday. Burks played 33 offensive snaps and operated as Washington's No. 4 wideout, finishing as the team's fifth-leading receiver. He's likely to remain with the Commanders' active roster for the Week 10 matchup against the Lions, as McLaurin and Brown appear unlikely to return.

Burks was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Burks joined the Commanders' practice squad in mid-October after a lengthy recovery from a collarbone injury. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out, Burks has the chance to be active for the first time since Week 6 of the 2024 campaign.

Burks signed with Washington's practice squad Thursday.

Burks may need some time to learn the playbook, but he has a chance to be elevated and contribute right away Sunday against the Cowboys, as the Commanders may be severely shorthanded at wide receiver. Noah Brown (groin) is on injured reserve, while there are serious doubts about whether either of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) or Deebo Samuel (heel) will be available. Burks had just 34 receiving yards in five games for the Titans last season.

Burks is expected to sign with the Commander's practice squad, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Burks visited with both the Broncos and Commanders this past week, and the 2022 first-rounder appears to have chosen to join Washington as a member of the team's practice squad. Burks could be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Cowboys, as the Commanders might be without Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel (heel), while Noah Brown (groin) is on injured reserve. Burks has accumulated 53 catches (on 92 targets) for 699 yards and one touchdown across 27 regular-season games across his NFL career.

Burks visited the Broncos on Tuesday and plans to visit the Commanders on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Burks suffered a broken collarbone in July and was on the Titans' injured-reserve list before he was waived last week. Burks has first-round draft pick pedigree but failed to live up to the billing in Tennessee. A change of scenery would do him well, and he appears to have plenty of interest as a reclamation project.

Tennessee waived Burks (collarbone) on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Unless he's claimed off waivers, Burks will be eligible to sign with a new team once he's fully healthy after he spent the first five games of the season on the Titans' injured reserved list while on the mend from a fractured collarbone suffered during training camp. The No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Burks was unable to carve out a meaningful role over his three-plus seasons in Tennessee. In 27 career games, the 25-year-old wideout tallied 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown.

Burks (collarbone) was cleared for all football activities Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The problem for Burks is he's currently on season-ending injured reserve with the Titans after he was placed on IR prior to roster cutdowns back in August. If he's going to play this season, the Titans will need to cut him and allow him to seek an opportunity elsewhere. It's unclear if those discussions have taken place, but a change of scenery would likely be best for Burks at this point in his career.

Burks (collarbone) reverted to the Titans' injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Burks broke his right collarbone while making a diving catch at Saturday's practice. Considering he's now on injured reserve, he'll be required to miss the entire 2025 season, barring getting waived with an injury settlement. Through three NFL campaigns, the 2022 first-round pick has compiled a disappointing 53-699-1 line on 92 targets in 27 regular-season games, including just four catches for 34 yards and no TDs on eight targets in five contests last year.

The Titans waived Burks (collarbone) with an injury designation Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.

Burks suffered a broken collarbone in practice last week, and he'll now head to waivers after the Titans signed fellow WR Ramel Keyton in a corresponding move. If Burks clears waivers, he'll be placed on season-ending injured reserve, where he could then be cut with an injury settlement at a later date. Since being taken with the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Burks has amassed a career receiving line of 53-699-1 on 92 targets across 27 regular-season contests. He's been neither healthy nor productive in Tennessee.

Burks fractured his collarbone during Saturday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Burks made an incredible diving catch during Saturday's practice but came up holding his right shoulder before heading to the locker room. The 2022 first-round pick has struggled with injuries throughout his young career, as he suffered a torn ACL last season and has played only 27 regular-season games through three campaigns. It's unclear when he will return, but he's expected to at least miss the beginning of the season. This opens the door for Van Jefferson and rookie Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor to secure the No. 3 wide receiver role in the meantime.

Burks (shoulder/knee) exited Saturday's practice after making a diving one-handed catch, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Burks has been practicing for a couple days now after his 2024 campaign was cut short due to a torn ACL. He beat a cornerback deep during Saturday's practice and made a phenomenal catch but came up holding his shoulder before heading to the locker room. Burks is vying for a starting wide receiver job during training camp, so any missed time will be detrimental.

Cameron Ward expressed optimism that Burks (knee) will be one of the Titans' top receivers in 2025, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has had a difficult start to his NFL career due to a combination of poor performance and injury. He's recovering from a torn ACL heading into his fourth campaign but has been practicing at the start of training camp, which should be a positive indication of his availability come the regular season. The Titans drafted Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor and also signed Van Jefferson and Tyler Lockett this offseason, giving Burks increased competition for targets.

Burks (knee) is expected to be ready for training camp, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks, who is bouncing back from an ACL tear that he suffered Week 6 of the 2024 season, was only able to take part in individual periods of practice during OTAs and minicamp, but it looks like he'll be ready for more work in training camp. Once he's at or close to 100 percent, the 2022 first-rounder will have an opportunity to compete for slotting in a Tennessee wideout corps that is led by Calvin Ridley, but unsettled beyond that.

Titans coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Burks (knee) is at about 80 percent strength and may be ready for Week 1, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

The 2022 first-round pick is finishing up his rehab from the ACL tear he suffered Week 6 last year, with a shot to be ready for the start of the final season of his rookie contract. Burks has averaged 2.0 catches for 25.9 yards in 27 career games, with just one touchdown among his 53 receptions, providing minimal reason for hope that he can live up to his draft status. He at least has some chance to earn playing time in Tennessee, where WR roles appear open for competition behind Calvin Ridley.

Burks (knee) practiced in a limited capacity during OTAs on Wednesday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

It's an encouraging sign to see Burks working with his team as he heals from the ACL damage he incurred back in Week 6 of the 2024 season. Per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com, Coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that while Burks isn't fully back, he'll be involved in practice as he progresses in his recovery. Once he's fully healthy, Tennessee hopes Burks will be able to compete for targets with veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett.

The Titans officially declined the fifth-year option on Burks' (knee) rookie contract Thursday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Burks' fifth-year option being declined is no surprise, given that he's currently working his way back from an ACL tear suffered Week 6 of the 2024 season, and when healthy had failed to secure a top three role behind Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd. Westbrook-Ikhine and Boyd have since parted ways with Tennessee, though the team added Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson as experienced options to complement Ridley for new franchise quarterback Cam Ward. Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, head coach Brian Callahan stressed the necessity of Burks hitting the ground running and making plays once he's returned to full health when addressing the media Tuesday.

Titans coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Burks' return from an ACL tear should occur closer to the regular season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Reading between the lines, Burks is unlikely to be ready for the start of training camp and in danger of missing Week 1. He suffered an ACL tear Week 6 of 2024, causing an early end to what was shaping up as another disappointing season. The 2022 first-round pick failed to earn a top-three role under a new coaching staff and now finds himself rehabbing a major injury for the final year of his rookie contract. The only positive development for Burks' fantasy value is that Tennessee's lack of receiving weapons could afford him another opportunity to compete for playing time. Still, there are many better ways to use a late-round fantasy pick.

Head coach Brian Callahan noted Wednesday that Burks (knee) won't return this season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The report notes that Burks -- who has been on IR since Oct. 19 -- had surgery to address his knee injury. Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Burks had been dealing with what was described as a "loose ACL" issue, as opposed to a full tear, and underwent the procedure a couple of weeks back. In his continued absence, Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd will lead the Titans' wideout corps.

Burks (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Head coach Brian Callahan had suggested this would occur Friday, so it should come as no surprise to fantasy managers. The Titans' anemic passing attack hasn't helped matters, but Burks hasn't produced nearly to the level one would expect based on his draft pedigree, as he has just four receptions for 34 yards across give games while playing a moderately high amount of snaps behind Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks' absence could lead to additional opportunities for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who scored his first touchdown of the season in this past Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts. Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd continue to occupy the top three spots on the wide receiver depth chart in Tennessee's low-octane passing game. Burks' next chance to suit up will be Week 8 in Detroit, though his absence may extend beyond that point, as coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Burks may need to go on IR, per Wyatt.

Burks did not participate in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, but his inability to practice Thursday doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. Friday's injury report should provide a better idea on whether the 2022 first-round pick will play in Week 7. If Burks cannot suit up, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would step up as the Titans' fourth wideout behind Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.

Burks (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks played just nine offensive snaps during the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts. It appears the 2022 first-round pick may have come out of that contest a little bit worse for wear, but he'll have two more days to upgrade his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Burks has seen his role in the Titans' offense decrease as the regular season has progressed, and he's caught just four passes (on eight targets) for 34 yards across five games.

Burks recorded one reception on one target for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.

Burks has one catch in four of five games this season, so his stat line wasn't all that surprising. However, he played a season-low nine offensive snaps (16 percent), three fewer than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Burks recorded one catch on one target for 13 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.

Burks continued to play around 50 percent of offensive snaps and maintained a minimal role in the Titans' game plan. He has one or fewer receptions in every game this season, though his 13-yard catch late in the first quarter was his longest of the campaign.

Burks recorded one catch on three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Burks' role in the offense remained stable at a 50 percent snap rate, but he has been targeted only six times through three games. Even with DeAndre Hopkins still limited by a knee injury, Burks has struggled to earn a consistent role in the Tennessee offense.

Burks was targeted once but did not record a catch in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.

Burks saw his snap rate fall from 70 percent in Week 1 to 50 percent Sunday. That was primarily due to DeAndre Hopkins ramping up his workload, and that trend will likely continue as the season progresses.

Burks recorded one reception on two targets for two yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. He added two rushes for one yard.

Burks was on the field for 44 offensive snaps, more than expected as DeAndre Hopkins was severely limited due to an ongoing knee issue. Despite the opportunity, Burks made a limited impact on the game as his longest gain went for only six yards.

Burks participated in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Per Wyatt, Burks, who left Wednesday's practice with a trainer after landing hard on the field, appeared unhindered Thursday which sets the stage for the wideout to be available for Sunday's preseason finale against the Saints. The Titans remain hopeful that DeAndre Hopkins (knee) will be ready for Week 1 action, but in the meantime Burks is in a position to see added WR reps alongside Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.

Burks (undisclosed) left Wednesday's practice with a trainer after landing hard on the field, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Wyatt notes that Burks held his back/hip area as he left the field late in the session, but was walking on his own. Until added context is available, consider the wideout day-to-day as Sunday's preseason finale against the Saints approaches.

Burks hauled in his lone reception for 12 yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the 49ers.

Burks continues to run with the first-unit offense alongside Calvin Ridley while DeAndre Hopkins (knee) remains questionable for the start of the regular season. The larger role would certainly boost Burks' fantasy stock, which took a hit following the signing of Ridley this past offseason. Even when the Titans' veteran wideouts are healthy, Burks figures to remain a part of the passing game in a slot role.

With DeAndre Hopkins possibly in line to miss 4-6 weeks with a knee issue, Burks is slated to see first-team reps in the meantime, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

While the Titans are are optimistic about Hopkins' return, the initial timetable on that front suggests that he's not a lock to be ready for Week 1 action. In the event that Hopkins is out or limited early on this season, Burks would be in line to see added opportunities alongside fellow WRs Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd.

Coach Brian Callahan said Thursday that Burks still has a role in Tennessee's wide receiver corps after the team's signing of veteran slot specialist Tyler Boyd, Nick Suss of the Nashville Tennessean reports.

Callahan said of Burks' offseason "the work that he's put in has been really impressive," per Turron Davenport of ESPN, but the 2022 first-round pick may nonetheless have slid to No. 4 on the depth chart following Boyd's arrival, with Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins entrenched as Will Levis' clear top targets. The 225-pound wideout could still certainly have untapped potential, as he's battled injuries throughout the first two years of his NFL career, but his path to consistent opportunities has grown murkier despite Tennessee most ignoring the WR position in April's draft. For fantasy purposes, at least, Burks' prospects for 2024 will look dim if he's not able to beat out Boyd for the No. 3 role in training camp. Callahan did, at least, say that Burks will earn opportunities to line up both inside and outside.

Burks profiles as the Titans' No. 3 receiver following the signing of Calvin Ridley, according to Mike Moraitis of Titans Wire.

Assuming the Titans keep DeAndre Hopkins, there's really no room for Burks to sit any higher than third on the depth chart, even though he was a first-round pick just two years ago. The 225-pound WR missed six games in each of his first two NFL seasons while battling a variety of injuries, and he dropped from 444 yards as a rookie to 221 in his second season. From a real-life standpoint, Burks might actually be better off in a low-pressure role as the No. 3 receiver behind two established starters, but the tough competition for snaps and targets equates to a lower fantasy ceiling / lesser breakout odds all the same. The worst-case scenario would entail Burks losing the No. 3 role and sliding even further down Tennessee's depth chart.

Burks was not targeted in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Jaguars.

Burks was a popular breakout selection throughout the offseason, though he underwhelmed significantly by recording only 16 catches for 221 yards and no touchdowns across 11 games. In part, the depressed numbers were due to a concussion and a knee injury that combined to sideline him for five games. However, Burks made little impact even when he was on the field as he topped 50 receiving yards in only two games. He'll be entering a pivotal third season and will need to find a way to stay healthy and consistently command targets in Tennessee's offense to break out, though he hasn't shown the ability to do either early in his career.

Burks recorded two receptions on three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

Burks was on the field for 83 percent of snaps, his highest mark since Week 1. However, that didn't translate to increased involvement in the offense, and he's now failed to surpass three targets in any of his five games since returning from a head injury. Held back by injuries and poor quarterback play, Burks has failed to live up to his hype as a breakout candidate during the offseason.

Burks recorded two catches on three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Burks was coming off one of his better games of the season in Week 15, but he disappeared once again against Seattle. He was hurt by the Titans' run-heavy game plan, though he still finished fourth on the team in targets and failed to make any explosive plays. Injuries have held Burks in check for what was supposed to be a breakout season, but he'll look to close the campaign strong with divisional matchups against the Texans and Jaguars.

Burks (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Burks was withheld from practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday, but he looked healthy enough while participating fully in Friday's practice for the Titans to sign off on him playing this weekend. The 2022 first-round pick has surpassed three targets just once in eight appearances on the season, but he could have an opportunity to see a slight boost in passing-game opportunities Week 16 after Tennessee recently placed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) on injured reserve. DeAndre Hopkins has drawn nine or more targets in each of the past three games and should remain the Titans' top option in the passing attack, regardless of whether Will Levis (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable -- or Ryan Tannehill starts at quarterback.

Burks (illness) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks also missed Wednesday's session, so the wideout now has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Burks approaches Week 16 action with a designation or fully cleared to face Seattle.

Burks (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks -- who caught all three of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans, still has two more chances to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Seahawks. Assuming he's available for the contest, the 2022 first-rounder will be in line to maintain a key role in the Titans' WR corps in Week 16, especially with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) having been placed on season-ending IR on Wednesday.

Burks recorded three receptions on three targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans.

This marked Burks' third game back from a concussion, and he managed his highest raw snap count and percentage participation since returning. Though he saw only three targets, Burks delivered a pair of big plays of 37 and 20 yards to post his highest yardage total since Week 2 of the season. While DeAndre Hopkins will continue to dominate targets in the Tennessee offense, Burks should have the chance to step in as the second pass catcher to close the campaign.

Burks recorded one catch on three targets for one yard in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

Burks saw his role tick up in his second game back from a concussion, as he participated in 65 percent of offensive snaps Monday. However, that didn't translate to more production, and he now has only one catch in two games since returning. Given the lack of reliable pass catchers in Tennessee's offense, it's possible that Burks can increase his production by the close of the regular season, but there's been no sign of that to this point.

Coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that he hopes to get more from Burks in Monday's game against the Dolphins, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks returned from a three-game absence for Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to Indianapolis, finishing without a target on nine snaps. He might take playing time away from fellow wide receivers Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore down the stretch, though Vrabel stopped short of saying that's definitely what will happen. The 2022 first-round pick has missed 12 of a possible 29 games in his career, averaging 2.4 catches for 33.3 yards with just one TD in 17 appearances.

Burks (concussion) was not targeted in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts.

Burks returned from a three-game absence but was on the field for only nine offensive snaps. His role will presumably tick back up as he adjusts to game action, though the Tennessee offense has struggled to sustain consistent production for its pass catchers throughout the season.

Burks (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has been sidelined for the Titans' last three contests due to a concussion. He returned to log full practices both Thursday and Friday and has cleared the league's concussion protocol, setting him up for his first game action since Week 9. Burks has played in only one game with Will Levis under center, and he tallied two receptions on three targets for 23 yards.

Burks (concussion) is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Burks, who suffered a concussion Nov. 2, was listed as a full practice participant Thursday and Friday but approached the contest officially listed as questionable. However, it appears as though he's gained clearance to suit up Sunday, with the wideout's Week 13 status to be confirmed upon the posting of the Titans' inactives ahead of the team's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Burks (concussion) is listed as questionable Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who suffered a concussion Nov. 2 and hasn't played since, was listed as a full practice participant Thursday and Friday, but the wideout still has to gain final clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 ET contest. If Burks is able to play in Week 13, he'd profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, given that prior to being sidelined the 2022 first-rounder logged a modest 8/122/0 receiving line on 18 targets through five games.

Burks (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was limited Wednesday, but his return to a full practice a day later has him trending toward playing Sunday against the Colts. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Burks carries an injury designation, but if he's able to fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol he'll be on track to rejoin the Titans' WR corps in Week 13.

Burks (concussion) was present for practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks' participation in Wednesday's session was his first since suffering a concussion Nov. 2 against the Steelers. The wideout will still need to pass through all the necessary steps in the NFL's concussion protocol in order to play Sunday against the Colts, but his return to the field in the Titans' first Week 13 practice is a big step in the right direction toward that.

Burks is still working through concussion protocol, but head coach Mike Vrabel is hopeful the second-year wideout could return Sunday against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The 23-year-old wideout has missed three straight games due to a concussion suffered back on Nov. 2, and he previously missed Weeks 4-6 due to a knee sprain. In his five games of action this year, Burks has just eight receptions for 122 yards, but Tennessee's passing attack is also bottom five in the league in terms of passing yards. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to his practice status this week, but whenever the wideout is able to return he could benefit from a more downfield presence in the form of rookie signal caller Will Levis.

Burks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Burks, who last played in Week 9, still sidelined, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips are in line to continue to see added snaps in Week 12 behind No. 1 WR DeAndre Hopkins. Burks' next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 3 against the Colts.

Burks was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice Wednesday, so he's looking iffy at best for Sunday's game against the Panthers. If the wideout is ruled out for the contest, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in line to continue to see added snaps behind No. 1 WR DeAndre Hopkins this weekend.

Burks (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who has missed the Titans' last two games, also didn't practice last week, but the wideout still has two more opportunities to take the field ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Burks remains out this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in line to see increased snaps behind top wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (concussion) was a non-participant for Tuesday's unofficial practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has been in the concussion protocol since taking a hard fall near the end of a Week 9 road loss to the Steelers, missing the last two games. Considering he has yet to log any on-field work since then, there's no telling where he stands in his recovery from the head injury, but if he again stacks up DNPs during Week 12 prep, he'll be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Panthers.

Burks (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks is thus slated to miss his second straight game and will now target a potential return to action Nov. 26 against the Panthers. In his continued absence, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips are in line to see added Week 11 WR snaps behind top option DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (concussion) wasn't seen at Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday either, and he could well be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars later Friday. If that ends up being the case, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be figure to see added snaps this weekend behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks missed Week 10 after being concussed 14 days ago in Pittsburgh, and he looks like he's trending toward missing a second consecutive contest. Burks has a concussion history, so it makes sense to be extra cautious with him. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips are next up at wideout behind DeAndre Hopkins should Burks need to sit out.

Burks remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice at all last week before being ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. The wideout now has two more chances to practice ahead of this weekend's contest against the Jaguars, but if he remains sidelined this weekend Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in line to see added Week 11 snaps behind DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Burks ruled out for the contest, DeAndre Hopkins will continue to head the Titans' WR corps in Week 10, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips in line to see added pass-catching opportunities versus Tampa Bay. Burks will now target a potential return to action Nov. 19 against the Jaguars.

Burks (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If he ends up ruled out for the contest, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in line to see added opportunities this weekend behind No. 1 receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Given that coach Mike Vrabel previously indicated that Burks isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Buccaneers, the wideout could be ruled out for Week 10 action as soon as Friday. If that happens, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be slated to log WR snaps versus Tampa Bay behind top option DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Per Wyatt, coach Mike Vrabel previously relayed that Burks remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Buccaneers. If Burks is sidelined this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in line to absorb the Week 10 WR snaps that don't go to top option DeAndre Hopkins.

Coach Mike Vrabel said Burks (concussion) is unlikely to play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bucs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks remains in the concussion protocol after slamming the back of his head on the ground in last Thursday night's Week 9 loss to the Steelers. This is at least Burks' second concussion through his first two pro seasons. With Burks likely out for Week 10, the Titans will rely on DeAndre Hopkins, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Chris Moore to soak up most of the wideout snaps.

Coach Mike Vrabel relayed Friday that Burks is in the NFL's concussion protocol, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The report adds that the wideout -- who briefly lost consciousness before being carted off the field during Thursday's game against the Steelers -- has communicated via text that he's on his way into the Titans' facility Friday. While Burks appears to have avoided a major injury, at this stage his status for the team's No. 12 contest against the Buccaneers remains unclear.

Burks (head) was spotted leaving the Titans' locker room following their 20-16 loss to the Steelers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks took a hard fall along the sideline after a deep target late in the game. He exited on a backboard with an apparently serious injury, so the fact that he was still with the team and walking under his own power is a positive sign. More details about the nature of the injury will likely emerge in the coming days.

Burks exited Thursday's game against the Steelers after taking a hard fall and suffering an apparent head injury, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Burks was targeted on a deep pass late in the fourth quarter and hit his head on the ground. He was quickly evaluated by medical staff before being put on a backboard and carted off the field. In positive news, Burks has movement in all of his extremities.

Burks did not record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Falcons.

Burks returned from a three-game absence caused by a knee injury, though he was on the field for only half of Tennessee's offensive snaps. His workload should continue to tick up as the season progresses, though it may not come in a short week for Thursday's matchup against the Steelers.

Burks (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks is thus set to rejoin the lineup after three missed games and a Week 7 bye. He won't have the best situation to put up numbers even if he's a starter, as Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will miss at least one more game and probably more. Coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that both Will Levis and Malik Willis should take QB snaps this Sunday against the Falcons.

Burks (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks is back at practice after a Week 7 bye, potentially setting up a return for Sunday's game against Atlanta. He hasn't played since Week 3, at which point Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was still healthy and under center. Coach Mike Vrabel suggested both Will Levis and Malik Willis may get playing time at QB this week, with Levis shaping up as the probable starter.

Burks (knee) won't travel with the Titans for Sunday's game against the Ravens in London, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

With Burks slated to miss his third straight game, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips are in line for expanded roles at receiver this weekend behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Burks will now target a potential return to action following the Titans' Week 7 bye, when the team hosts the Falcons on Oct. 29.

Burks (knee) remained a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks' left knee injury has already kept him out of the Titans' last two games, and with the second-year receiver sitting out the first two sessions of Week 6 prep, he appears to be trending toward another absence Sunday against the Ravens. Before deciding on his status heading into the weekend, the Titans will see what, if anything, Burks can do during Friday's practice. In Burks' most recent absence in the Titans' Week 5 loss to the Colts, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (40 snaps), saw the second-most playing time among Tennessee receivers after DeAndre Hopkins, but Westbrook-Ikhine finished with just one catch for nine yards on three targets.

Burks (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who has missed two straight games, now has two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens in London. If Burks remains out this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in store for expanded roles at receiver behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Burks (knee) was not present for the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Jill Jelnick of Fox Sports reports.

Burks didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 5, and it it looks like he's set for another 'DNP.' The second-year wideout has now missed two straight games, and he only has two more chances to get back on the practice field before receiving an injury designation for Sunday's upcoming matchup against the Ravens.

Burks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Burks set to miss his second straight game, look for DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to lead the Titans Week 5 WR corps, with Chris Moore and Kyle Philips (knee) -- assuming he comes off IR -- also candidates to mix in. Burks' next chance to see game action will arrive Oct. 15, when Tennessee hosts Baltimore.

Burks (knee) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday either, and his absence from the early part of Friday's session clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Colts. The Titans' upcoming injury report will reveal whether the wideout has a chance to play in the contest or is destined to be sidelined for the second consecutive week.

Burks (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who also missed Wednesday's session, was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Bengals and following back-to-back absences from practice, the wideout is looking iffy for this weekend's game against the Colts. If Burks remains sidelined in Week 5, DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be in line to continue to lead the Titans' WR corps, with Chris Moore in the mix to see added snaps and Kyle Philips (knee) a candidate to be activated from IR to face Indianapolis.

Burks (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was unavailable this past Sunday against the Bengals, and with another missed practice to start the week, the wideout's status for this weekend's game against the Colts is cloudy. If Burks remains sidelined versus Indianapolis, DeAndre Hopkins and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be in line to lead the Titans' Week 5 WR corps, with Chris Moore and possibly Kyle Philips (knee/IR) also in the mix to log added snaps.

Burks (knee) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Burks unavailable, look for the Titans' Week 4 WR corps to be led by DeAndre Hopkins (ankle/limited at practice Thursday), Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore. Burks will now target a potential return to action Oct. 8 against the Colts.

Burks (knee) wasn't present for Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was limited Wednesday and didn't practice Thursday, so the wideout's continued absence from Friday's session clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Further context on that front will arrive once the Titans' final injury report of the week is posted, but if Burks is out or limited this weekend, added Week 4 opportunities alongside DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) would be available for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore.

Burks (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was limited during Wednesday's session, so his Thursday absence is worth noting. It remains to be seen if the downgrade in participation is indicative of a setback or more a matter of the Titans managing the wideout's practice reps. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Burks approaches Sunday's game against the Bengals with an injury designation or fully cleared to play.

Burks (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Per John Glennon of the Nashville Post, Burks had a significant wrap on his left leg during practice. The second-year wide receiver injured the knee during training camp but has played through the injury in Tennessee's first three games. A full showing Thursday or Friday would put Burks on track to suit up Sunday against the Bengals.

Burks recorded one reception (on six targets) for five yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Browns.

The Titans couldn't get their offense moving at any point against the Browns, and Burks' stat line is an indication of their ineffectiveness. The only positive to take from the performance is that he finished one target shy of DeAndre Hopkins for the team lead. While Burks should continue to see opportunities moving forward, the Tennessee passing offense has been subpar through three weeks due to the play of both Ryan Tannehill and the offensive line, which could continue to hold back his production.

Burks recorded three receptions on four targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

Burks did nearly all of his damage on a 70-yard reception midway through the second quarter that jumpstarted the Titans' offense. Despite being on the field for 94 snaps across the team's first two games, Burks has only six targets this season. Given that, it appears that he'll be reliant upon big plays and touchdowns to account for the majority of his production.

Burks returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to a personal matter, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Meanwhile, fellow starter DeAndre Hopkins, who is dealing with an ankle injury, wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice. Burks is in store for a big role in the Titans offense Sunday against the Chargers in any case, but if Hopkins is limited or out this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore would be next up for snaps and looks in the team's Week 2 WR corps.

Burks won't practice Wednesday due to a personal matter, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Burks is expected to return to practice Thursday. In the Titans' Week 1 loss to the Saints by a score of 16-15, Burks started opposite DeAndre Hopkins and recorded two catches for 18 yards on three targets.

Burks recorded two catches for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.

DeAndre Hopkins dominated Ryan Tannehill's attention, which left Burks as an afterthought. It appeared that the team made a concerted effort to get Burks looks to begin the second half, as he was targeted twice and made two receptions for 18 yards to begin the third quarter. However, he disappeared for the rest of the game and had a disappointing start to the season. Positively, he led the team's wide receivers with 54 snaps per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, so it appears as if the knee injury he suffered during training camp won't hold him back.

Burks (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks was quick to rebound from the LCL injury he suffered Aug. 16, returning to practice 12 days later and now heading into Week 1 without any limitations. He, DeAndre Hopkins and TE Chigoziem Okonkwo figure to account for a huge share of the targets from QB Ryan Tannehill, both this season in general and this Sunday in New Orleans.

Burks (knee) is practicing Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks returned to practice Monday, less than two weeks after suffering an LCL sprain Aug. 16 during a joint practice. His continued presence on the practice field suggests he's recovered from the knee injury and is ready to start Week 1 at New Orleans, joining WR DeAndre Hopkins and TE Chigoziem Okonkwo to give QB Ryan Tannehill a diverse, talented trio of pass catchers.

Burks (knee) returned to practice Monday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

It's his first practice since Aug. 16 when he suffered an LCL injury. It apparently wasn't too serious, as he's back at practice 12 days later and with 13 days to go before the Titans kick off their season in New Orleans on Sun., Sept. 10.

Burks has been diagnosed with a sprained LCL in his left knee after getting injured during Wednesday's joint practice with the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Fortunately for Burks, he's slated to miss only a few weeks after he couldn't place any weight on his left leg and required a cart to get off the practice field. While the current concern likely will keep him sidelined for the rest of the Titans' preseason slate, the timing of the injury may allow Burks to be healthy for the team's season opener Sunday, Sept. 10 at New Orleans.

Burks (leg) has been carted off the field at Wednesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks appeared to injure his left leg, and wasn't able to place any weight on it as he boarded the cart to leave practice, per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. Davenport reports that Burks suffered the injury while connecting with quarterback Ryan Tannehill on a deep touchdown rep. The Titans will hope Burks can avoid a serious injury diagnosis, considering the integral role in the passing game he holds alongside DeAndre Hopkins. The 2022 first-round pick has logged a strong training camp and appears primed for a potential Year 2 breakout, making it particularly brutal timing if his injury is severe.

Burks has been impressive in training camp in working along side DeAndre Hopkins Joe Rexrode of The Athletic. Burks says he's much more confident and in better shape ahead of his second season, USA Today reports.

Rexrode says Burks is giving daily "breakout season" vibes in camp. Burks battled asthma and conditioning issues while missing practices in the offseason in 2022, but has had a fully healthy camp this summer. He entered the offseason ready to be the No. 1 receiver, but has moved to the No. 2 role after the late July signing of DeAndre Hopkins. He could still have a breakout season as Hopkins could draw more of the defense's focus and open the field for Burks. Head coach Mike Vrabel has left the door open for some veterans to play in Saturday's preseason opener, but we'd expect Burks to sit out the contest.

Burks has been Ryan Tannehill's "favorite target" at OTAs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official website reports.

"It seems like Tannehill connects with Burks at the start of every period, and I haven't seen Burks drop a ball intended for him yet in the open OTAs," Wyatt wrote Wednesday. Burks got off on the wrong foot after he was picked in the first round of last year's draft, battling asthma and conditioning issues while missing practices, but he's in a much better place in 2023. The conditioning stuff appears to be behind him, and Burks is being counted on for big production with Robert Woods gone and the Titans only adding veteran Chris Moore and seventh-rounder Colton Dowell to their wideout room. If he's able to stay healthy, Burks should run away with the team lead for targets this season.

Burks isn't having any problems with his breathing this spring, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. "I would say I feel faster," Burks said Tuesday, "because I can breathe."

Burks was bothered by asthma last spring and ended up missing some of the offseason program just weeks after the Titans drafted him 18th overall. He then lost some weight and worked on his conditioning, and no further issues were reported during training camp or the season. Burks missed four games with a toe injury and two due to a concussion, but he showed progress in between these two stints with 20 targets and 205 yards over a three-game stretch (Weeks 10-12) before he hit his head on the ground while making his lone TD catch of the year in the first quarter of a Week 13 loss. After missing the rest of that game and two others, Burks returned to an offense using Malik Willis and Joshua Dobbs under center. The Titans now have both Burks and Tannehill healthy for their offseason program, and while the veteran QB could be challenged by second-round pick Will Levis, the team didn't prioritize adding WRs this offseason after releasing Robert Woods. Even if the run-first mentality is a given, the Titans will ne

Burks caught four of seven targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

Burks led all Tennessee pass catchers in targets Saturday, but the rookie was unable to make much noise in the contest. The 22-year-old showed flashes of great potential this season, giving the Titans hope that he can fill the void left by the departure of A.J. Brown before this season. Burks finished the 2022 campaign with 33 catches for 444 yards and a touchdown. He added four rushing attempts for 47 yards. The wideout played just 11 games, missing time due to injury. Heading into the 2023 season, Burks has the opportunity to build upon some of his early success and compete for top billing on the Titans' wide receiver depth chart.

Burks (groin) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Jaguars.

Burks was added to the Titans' Week 18 injury report Wednesday, after a groin injury resulted in him being limited at practice that day. After not participating in Thursday's session, the wideout was deemed questionable by the Titans, but the 2022 first-rounder will give it a go Saturday in a game that will decide the AFC South title. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Burks is slated to remain a key target for starting QB Joshua Dobbs. During Week 17 action, Burks caught four of his eight targets from Dobbs for 66 yards in Tennessee's 27-13 loss to the Cowboys.

Burks (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jaguars.

The wideout was added to the Titans' Week 18 injury report Wednesday, after the groin injury resulted in him being a limited participant that day. He then failed to practice in any fashion Thursday, but head coach Mike Vrabel downplayed concern about the rookie's status after the session, telling Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site that he thinks Burks will "be OK." Given that the AFC South title is on the line Saturday, expect Burks to do everything he can to be available for the contest. Official confirmation of his status will arrive once Tennessee's inactive list is posted 90 minutes ahead of the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Burks (groin) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks practiced fully Tuesday, but was listed as limited Wednesday. It remains to be seen if the wideout makes an appearance on the field as the Titans' current practice progresses, but in any case added context with regard to his status for Saturday's game against the Jaguars is slated to arrive once the team's final Week 18 injury report is posted later Thursday.

Burks (groin) was limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks practiced fully Tuesday, so his addition to the Titans' injury report Wednesday is noteworthy and could be indicative of an in-practice setback. Thursday's final report will reveal whether Burks approaches Saturday night's game against the Jaguars with an injury designation of cleared for this weekend's AFC South title showdown.

Burks secured four of eight targets for 66 yards and rushed once for 20 yards in the Titans' 27-13 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Burks paced the Titans in receiving yardage with the help of a 30-yard grab and checked in second in receptions and targets to Robert Woods. The rookie speedster worked well with spot starter Joshua Dobbs, and his resurgent performance was an especially welcome sight for fantasy managers following a blanking over 47 snaps against the Texans in Week 16. Burks should have a good chance of playing a prominent role in the critical Week 18 road battle versus the Jaguars that will decide the AFC South title.

Burks did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans.

Burks returned from a two-game absence but failed to make an impact. That likely had more to do with the state of the Tennessee offense -- no receiver had more than 30 yards -- than Burks himself. Even so, it will be difficult to trust him moving forward with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) out for the rest of the regular season.

Burks (concussion) is active for Saturday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has been inactive for each of Tennessee's last two games due to a concussion. However, he practiced in full throughout the week and has cleared the league's protocol. Prior to his injury, Burks had shown signs of breaking out with three productive performances in a row. However, it's unclear how much Tennessee will be able to get its passing game going in the absence of Ryan Tannehill (ankle), creating at least some concern about Burks' potential output for the rest of the regular season.

The Titans list Burks (concussion) as questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans.

Even though he was listed as a full participant in practices from Tuesday through Thursday, Burks will still carry a designation into the weekend. The fact that he's not officially cleared to suit up Saturday suggests Burks may need to receive the green light from an independent neurologist to play, something that could happen later Thursday or Friday. If Burks is able to return from a two-game absence this weekend, he would likely reclaim a starting role at receiver. However, Burks' fantasy outlook won't be as promising moving forward with the Tennessee offense expect to skew even more run-heavy while rookie Malik Willis steps in at quarterback for the injured Ryan Tannehill (ankle), who is out Week 16 and appears likely to miss the rest of the season.

Burks (concussion) practiced Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks was listed as full on Tuesday's practice estimate, so the wideout is clearly trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's game against the Texans. In order to approach the contest minus a Week 16 injury designation, however, Burks will need to officially clear the NFL's concussion protocol by Thursday.

Burks (concussion) was listed as full on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Since sustaining a concussion Week 13 at Philadelphia, Burks missed back-to-back contests while sitting out all sessions during prep for Weeks 14 and 15. Earlier Tuesday, coach Mike Vrabel relayed to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com that he hoped Burks would take part in the upcoming walkthrough, and the rookie wide receiver was able to handle enough reps to be considered a full participant. That doesn't necessarily mean Burks is in the clear yet as he makes his way through the protocol for head injuries, but he at least appears to be in the final phase or two, which bodes well for his odds to return Saturday versus the Texans.

Burks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Burks and C.J. Board (ribs) both out this weekend, Chris Conley and Racey McMath are candidates to log added Week 15 wideout reps behind Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Burks, who was also sidelined in Week 14, will now look to gain clearance to play ahead of the Titans' Dec. 24 contest against the Texans.

Burks (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Given that Burks sat out Wednesday's session, the wideout is looking iffy for Sunday's game against the Chargers. The 2022 first-rounder has one more chance to return to practice ahead of Week 15 action, but if he remains out this weekend, Robert Woods (illness) -- who returned to practice Thursday -- and  Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be in line to lead the Titans' Week 15 wideout corps.

Burks (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

It was reported earlier Wednesday that Burks had not cleared the concussion protocol, but that he was listed as a non-participant entirely Wednesday might or might not indicate something additional about Burks' status. The rookie wideout had been building momentum prior to suffering the concussion in Week 13, so he might continue on that trajectory whenever he can gain clearance.

Burks remains in the NFL's concussion protocol as of Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks missed this past Sunday's game against the Jaguars, and given that he's still in concussion protocol, the wideout's status for this weekend's game against the Chargers is unclear at this stage. If Burks doesn't gain clearance to play ahead of Week 15 action, Racey McMath, Chris Conley and possibly C.J. Board (ribs) would be in line to see added WR snaps for the Titans behind Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. 

Burks (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks' absence isn't surprising considering he hasn't been spotted on the practice field since leaving early against the Eagles in Week 13 after taking a hit to the head. The rookie first-round pick will set his sights on returning in Week 15 against the Chargers, but Burks will first have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

Burks (concussion) wasn't spot at practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has been unable to practice since being concussed in Week 13 against the Eagles. The rookie wide receiver will be hard pressed to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time to face the Jaguars on Sunday, so those relying on Burks in fantasy should have an alternative lined up. Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will lead Tennessee's receiving corps if Burks sits, but both wideouts have a lot more busts than booms in 2022.

Burks (concussion) missed another practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who exited this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles after logging just 10 snaps, also missed practice Wednesday, so what the wideout is able to do Friday should be pivotal with regard to his chances of being cleared to play Sunday against the Jaguars. If, however, Burks is unavailable this weekend, added pass-catching opportunities would be available for the likes of WRs Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, as well as TE Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Burks (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles after just 10 snaps, has two more chances to return to practice ahead of this weekend's contest against the Jaguars. If the wideout ends up out or limited against Jacksonville, however, added Week 14 opportunities would be available for fellow pass-catchers Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Burks (concussion) is feeling better, but they have to wait to see how he progresses through concussion protocol before determining the wideout's status for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks suffered a concussion after hauling in his only target for a 25-yard touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Given Vrabel's comments, it looks like the rookie first-round pick will have a chance to clear protocols and play in Week 14, but fantasy managers likely won't know his official status until later in the week. If Burks is sidelined, Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be Tennessee's top two wideouts against Jacksonville.

Burks who was evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Eagles, has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Prior to being forced out of the game, Burks caught his only target for a 25-yard touchdown. Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are in line to lead Tennessee's wideout corps, with Burks now sidelined and targeting a potential return to action in Week 14 versus the Jaguars.

Burks is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Eagles, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Burks caught his only target for a 25-yard TD. In his absence,  Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are in line to lead the Titans' Week 13 wideout corps.

Burks (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

After sitting out Thursday's practice due to an illness, Burks managed to log every rep Friday, paving the way for him to be available this weekend. He could find the going tough, though, against an Eagles defense that has allowed the second-lowest YPT (6.9) and catch rate (57.4 percent) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Burks (illness) returned to practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice Thursday, but his presence at practice Friday indicates that he's trending toward playing Sunday against the Eagles. Friday's injury report will clarify the wideout's participation level, as well as relay whether Burks will head into the weekend with a designation, or fully cleared for Week 13 action.

Burks was added to the Titans' Week 13 injury report after failing to participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Provided Burks' ailment isn't COVID-19-related or anything else that may significantly hinder him from a conditioning standpoint, he should still have a good chance at playing in this weekend's game at Philadelphia. Whether the rookie wideout carries a designation into that contest will likely hinge on the extent of his involvement in the Titans' final practice of the week Friday.

Burks caught four of six targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals. He also recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.

The first touchdown of Burks' young NFL career came in unusual fashion. Derrick Henry did most of the heavy lifting on a 69-yard catch and run, but the ball popped out of his hands a few yards shy of the end zone. Burks pounced on it in the end zone for a touchdown that gave the Titans a short-lived 10-3 lead. While Burks' fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to score in this fashion often, the rookie first-round pick has been trending up lately, as 181 of his 334 receiving yards this season have come in the past two games.

Burks brought in seven of eight targets for 111 yards in the Titans' 27-17 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

The rookie's night was shaping up as fairly average from a yardage perspective before he hauled in a 51-yard grab down the left sideline against Jaire Alexander just before the two-minute warning to seal the game for the Titans. Thanks to that play, Burks led Tennessee in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he's now drawn 14 targets over his first two games back from a stint on IR with foot and toe injuries. Burks' next opportunity to build on a solid rookie campaign comes in a Week 12 home matchup against the Bengals a week from Sunday.

Burks recorded three receptions on six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Broncos.

Burks suited up for his first game since Week 4, and he finished fourth on the team in targets. He got off to a slow start -- he caught only two of his first five targets for nine yards -- but delivered a 15-yard reception early in the third quarter to highlight his performance. The Titans have had one of the worst receiving corps in the league halfway through the season, so assuming Burks can remain healthy, he could have a significant role to close the campaign.

Burks (foot/toe) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks missed the minimum four games after suffering a turf toe injury back in Week 4. The rookie receiver had just 16 targets through the first four games of his career, but the Titans' passing offense has struggled mightily in recent weeks and could rely on Burks' big-play capabilities to turn things around.

Burks (foot/toe) has been designated to return from IR by the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

With the move, Burks can begin practicing Wednesday and has a 21-day window in which to be activated by the Titans. Prior to landing on IR on Oct. 8, the 2022 first-rounder recorded 10 catches for 129 yards (on 16 targets) in four games. Once the rookie pass-catcher is up to speed and ready for game action, there will be an opportunity for Burks to claim a key role in the Titans offense alongside fellow wideout Robert Woods, a scenario that should give the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder an opportunity to carve out some fantasy utility in the weeks ahead.

Burks (toe) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks failed to practice all week due to turf toe suffered during last week's win over the Colts and it'll now cost the rookie the next four games. Expect Robert Woods to see a heavy dose of the targets with Kyle Philips and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also mixing in.

Burks (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Now that Burks is unavailable Sunday, look for Kyle Philips and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to see added Week 5 WR opportunities alongside Robert Woods, while TE Austin Hooper could also factor in the team's passing game more as well. With the Titans on bye next week, Burks will target a potential return to action in Week 7, when Tennessee hosts Indianapolis on Oct. 23.

Burks (toe) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Friday's injury report will reveal whether Burks has any chance of playing Sunday against the Commanders, but back-to-back missed practices have him trending in the wrong direction. If the 2022 first-rounder is unavailable this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister would be in line for added Week 5 WR snaps alongside Robert Woods.

Burks (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks is expected to miss at least a game or two, though he hasn't officially been ruled out, after exiting the Week 4 win over Indianapolis with an injury that's reportedly been diagnosed as turf toe. Players often return from the injury in fairly short order, but there is a high risk of recurring problems with the affected foot/toe thereafter. An early bye in Week 6 could affect the Titans' thinking here, potentially allowing Burks to get two weeks of rest with just one missed game before returning to practice after the bye and attempting to play. If he does indeed miss the upcoming game against Washington on Sunday, the Titans have Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips as the top candidates for WR snaps behind No. 1 receiver Robert Woods.

Burks suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Burks won't require surgery to address the injury, but Rapoport reports that he's expected to miss multiple weeks and could hit IR. Coach Mike Vrabel, meanwhile, declined to offer an expected recovery timetable for the first-round rookie Monday, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. If Burks does indeed miss time, all of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister could benefit from increased opportunities starting with Week 5's matchup against Washington.

Burks was using crutches and sporting a boot on his left foot after Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

While the Titans have yet to detail the severity of Burks' foot issue, the rookie wideout looks iffy for next Sunday's game against the Commanders. If Burks is forced to miss time, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister would be candidates for added WR snaps for Tennessee.

Burks (foot) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Per Wyatt, Burks will not return to the game due to his foot injury. Prior to his exit, the 2022 first-rounder caught two of his three targets for 14 yards and rushed once for four yards.

Burks (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Burks' ability to get back on the field without restrictions suggests that the illness that kept him from practicing Wednesday won't affect his availability for Sunday's game in Indianapolis. The rookie first-round pick has seen a steady increase in his workload in each successive game this season, going from playing 37 percent of offensive snaps Week 1, 47 percent in Week 2 and 67 percent in Week 3.

Burks (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field a day later puts the wideout on track to suit up Sunday against the Colts. That notion would be solidified if the Titans list him as a full participant on Thursday's upcoming practice/injury report.

Burks (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' officials site reports.

Burks -- who totaled seven catches on 11 targets through Tennessee's first two games -- was on the field for 40 of a possible 58 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders, but caught just one pass (on two targets) for 13 yards in the contest, while rushing once for eight yards. Assuming the illness that sidelined him Wednesday doesn't impact his Week 4 status, the 2022 first-rounder will look to engineer a bounce-back effort this weekend against the Colts.

Burks recorded one reception on two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders. He added one rush for eight yards.

Burks took a step back in involvement in the Titans' offense, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine instead having the more impressive game. On the other hand, he narrowly missed his first NFL touchdown as he was taken down at the one-yard line on his lone reception. Burks has shown the ability to make big plays through three games as a pro, but he has only eight receptions and 115 yards in that same span.

Burks (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt reports.

Burks' full participation Thursday can likely be read as confirmation that he's at or near full strength, and even his limited participation designation from Wednesday was only a walkthrough estimation rather than a proper practice. If the ankle issue is behind him then Burks should be ready to contribute against Las Vegas on Sunday. According to TitanInsider.com's Terry McCormick, offensive coordinator Todd Downing said Burks has "been growing every week" and could see more touches if his development remains on track.

Burks (ankle) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

The rookie wideout may have picked up a minor ankle injury during Monday's blowout loss to the Bills, but it sounds like he'll be able to practice in some capacity later this week. Burks caught four of six targets for 47 yards Monday night, making him one of the few bright spots in an otherwise ugly performance for the Titans. It remains to be seen if the solid showing leads to more playing time Week 3 against the Raiders, after Burks took 37 percent of snaps Week 1 and 45 percent in Week 2.

Burks caught four of six targets for 47 yards in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills.

Nobody on Tennessee's offense had a game to write home about, but Burks at least managed to lead the team in targets and receiving yards. That usage is encouraging for the rookie first-round pick's role moving forward, and Burks should find it easier to get open in Week 3 against the Raiders, who are 0-2 just like the Titans.

Burks caught three of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants.

The 18th overall pick in the 2022 draft flashed his upside in his NFL debut, and Burks had two receptions of 20 or more yards -- both of which helped set up Tennessee touchdowns. Surprisingly, fifth-round pick Kyle Philips wound up being the Titans' leading receiver, but Burks figures to take on that mantle soon enough, perhaps as soon as Monday night in a Week 2 clash with the Bills.

Burks isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tennessee's season opener against the Giants on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks suffered a minor wrist injury in the final week of the preseason, but he returned to the game not much later and ended up scoring a touchdown. While his extended playing time this preseason led to a lot of negative attention, Burks should get his chances sooner or later amidst an otherwise unimpressive Titans receiving corps. The team is counting on Robert Woods to bounce back from an ACL tear, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine listed as the other starter on the depth chart. Burks could rotate with one of them, or both, even if he technically isn't a starter.

Burks caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-23 preseason win over the Cardinals.

Burks had an eventful game, as he exited early in the contest due to a wrist injury. However, he returned to tally a 14-yard touchdown after he caught a short pass over the middle of the field and quickly turned upfield. After the contest, Burks was spotted with a wrap on his wrist, per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. Though the Titans presumably wouldn't have allowed him back in the game if the injury was serious, Burks' status will still be worth monitoring heading into Week 1.

Burks (wrist) returned to Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks had to leave Tennessee's exhibition finale with a wrist injury, but after a visit to the locker room he returned to the sidelines and eventually the contest itself. He'll look to build upon the two catches (on two targets) for 19 yards that he accrued prior to his departure.

Burks was forced out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Cardinals with a wrist injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks is presumably done for the evening as a result, and his status will need to be monitored in advance of Week 1. Prior to his departure from Saturday's contest, the 2022 first-rounder caught both of his targets for 19 yards.

Burks is in uniform for Saturday's preseason finale against the Cardinals, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

As is veteran wideout Robert Woods, as it appears as though the duo may be poised to log some snaps Saturday. If so, they could be limited to abbreviated appearances, but it would nonetheless be a very positive development with regard to the composition of the Titans' receiving corps ahead of Week 1 action.

Burks (undisclosed) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks left Wednesday's practice with an unspecified issue, so until further details are available consider the rookie wideout day-to-day ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against the Cardinals. The 2022 first-rounder has a chance to play a key role in a Tennessee wide receiver corps that also includes Robert Woods (knee), Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips, but in order for that to translate to fantasy utility, Burks will need to consistently avoid the sort of health/injury issues that have impacted his practice attendance thus far.

Burks practiced without a sleeve on his leg Monday, Ben Arthur of The Tennessean reports.

Burks was spotted with a wrap on his left leg during the Titan's preseason game against Tampa Bay on Saturday. However, he was back to a full practice with the team Monday, running routes and fielding punts. Burks will now focus on remaining on the field consistently, as he's dealt with conditioning concerns and minor bumps and bruises that have sidelined him for portions of camp.

Burks was seen with a wrap on his left leg during the fourth quarter of Sunday's preseason win against the Buccaneers, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks made an early exit from Wednesday's practice with an unknown injury before participating in a limited capacity at Thursday's session. He proceeded to play a second consecutive exhibition Saturday, logging offensive snaps into the fourth quarter. Overall, the rookie first-round pick finished with a four-yard catch on three targets, one of which was picked off, and also committed an offensive holding penalty, which marked his last reference in the play-by-play logs. The nature of the wide receiver's health concern isn't known, but after dealing with conditioning issues during the offseason program, there continues to be questions about whether he can get and stay on the field consistently.

Burks (undisclosed) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Ben Arthur of The Tennessean reports.

Burks was in and out of drills after exiting early the day before. His participation in any capacity suggests the injury isn't serious, and Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports that the rookie had a sleeve over his left leg at Thursday's practice. It remains to be seen if Burks plays in Tennessee's second preseason game this Saturday against Tampa.

Burks (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's practice early, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

It remains to be seen what caused the rookie wideout's early departure Wednesday, but until more information is available consider Burks day-to-day in advance of Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.

Burks rushed once for four yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Titans' 23-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

The much-talked-about rookie was very quiet in his first game action, which offered Burks an early opportunity to quiet some of the criticism he'd faced earlier this offseason for his conditioning issues. The 18th overall pick naturally has a solid opportunity to make a first-year impact with A.J. Brown now in Philadelphia, and the Titans will almost certainly try to get him more involved in their next exhibition clash, which unfolds a week from Saturday night at home against the Buccaneers.

Burks will suit up for Thursday's preseason game in Baltimore, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

This comes as little surprise after the Titans made him a first-round selection in this year's draft. Burks dealt with asthma and conditioning during the offseason program and even sat out mandatory minicamp, but he passed conditioning tests at the start of training camp and since then has looked more crisp on the field than he did in the spring. Still, he was listed as a second-team wide receiver on the team's first unofficial depth chart behind Robert Woods (knee) and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, so how Burks fares Thursday could help his case for first-team status.

Burks and fellow rookie Kyle Philips are listed behind Robert Woods (knee) and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on the Titans' initial unofficial depth chart, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

That said, it's not uncommon for teams to list first-year players conservatively on preseason depth charts, but it is a reminder that Burks -- the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft -- will have to earn his projected early-season role opposite Woods. Wyatt notes that Burks "has been quieter in recent practices," but the Arkansas product still has time to pick up this pace summer and if so, he'll have a chance to justify his ADP, which is currently way higher than either Westbrook-Ikhine or Philips.

Burks lost about six pounds this summer and looked good at Wednesday's practice, ESPN.com's Turron Davenport reports.

Asthma and conditioning issues impacted Burks' participation this spring, but he did well on conditioning tests ahead of training camp and then made a couple big plays on the first day of practice. The Titans hope their first-round pick shows enough this summer to be a Week 1 starter, as the only wideout on their roster with even 1,000 career receiving yards is Robert Woods, who suffered an ACL tear last November.

GM Jon Robinson noted Tuesday that Burks did well on conditioning tests ahead of training camp, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

That's an encouraging sign for Burks, who dealt with asthma and conditioning issues this offseason. Though it remains to be seen if he'll initially be limited at all during training camp practices, the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is being counted on to help fill the voided created by the Titans' trade of last year's top pass catcher A.J. Brown. Assuming no setbacks of note, Burks figures to see his share of targets as a rookie, while working opposite veteran wideout Robert Woods, who continues to rebound from a knee injury.

Titans receiver coach Rob Moore believes that Burks -- who dealt with asthma and conditioning issues this offseason -- will be ready to go when training camp practices begin July 27, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

Though Burks' on-field work with the Titans since being selected 18th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft has been limited, Davenport notes that the team did put the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder to work in the classroom in order to help him get the installation process down in anticipation of training camp. While it remains to be seen if Burks will practice fully from the get-go, if he can get up to speed with the playbook as the summer progresses and is able to move past his asthma/conditioning issues, the Arkansas product figures to be counted on heavily as a rookie, while working opposite veteran wideout Robert Woods, who's bouncing back from a knee injury. Targets are up for grabs this coming season, given that Tennessee traded last year's top pass catcher A.J. Brown -- who Burks has been compared to as a player -- to the Eagles during the draft.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Burks was "unavailable" for Tuesday's mandatory minicamp, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.

Per John Glennon of SI.com, Burks was spotted on the stationary bike, but the rookie wideout wasn't participating in practice. The first-round pick's pro tenure is off to a bumpy start as he's been limited during offseason workouts due to breathing and conditioning concerns, but it remains to be seen why Burks wasn't involved Tuesday after returning to full practices by the end of OTAs. Regardless, if Burks can stay on the field, he has immense talent and could be a major factor in Tennessee's offense moving forward, especially after they let go of Julio Jones and A.J. Brown this offseason.

Burks believes that he is improving every day and is focused on developing all aspects of his game, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has had an uneven start to his pro career, with the most concerning aspect being his struggle to consistently remain on the field due to breathing and conditioning concerns. However, he continues to build his workload and is focused on absorbing all the coaching he receives to improve his game. Burks will be counted on to immediately produce as a rookie, though veteran Robert Woods (knee) appears to be on schedule to return in time for the beginning of the regular season and should command plenty of targets.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Burks isn't facing any limitations during the Titans' OTAs this week, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Despite Vrabel's comments, Burks was once again in and out of Tuesday's practice, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. The first-round pick was shut down during rookie minicamp due to an undisclosed injury, but the Titans have refrained from making providing any more context. It doesn't appear to be a major issue at this point, but if he can't stay on field during offseason practices, it'll be hard for Vrabel to trust him during the regular season.

Burks (undisclosed) returned to rookie minicamp practice Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks saw his reps somewhat limited, but the 2022 first-round pick was still running routes and working with fellow rookie, quarterback Malik Willis. The Arkansas product is expectedly to immediately fill the void left by the departed A.J. Brown who was traded to the Eagles on draft day.

Burks left Friday's rookie minicamp practice early with an undisclosed injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said after practice that he deferred to trainer Todd Toriscelli on the decision to shut the rookie down, and added, "if [Burks] is out there tomorrow, we'll coach him up." It doesn't sound like the first-round pick is dealing with anything serious, but the team will likely be extremely cautious moving forward.
