Overview

  • Burks fractured his collarbone diving for a one-handed catch along the sideline at Nissan Stadium on July 26 and was later diagnosed via further testing.
  • Tennessee placed the former first-round pick on waived/injured status on July 28, exposing him to claims from other teams under NFL roster rules.
  • If unclaimed on waivers, Burks can revert to injured reserve with the option to designate him for return or negotiate a settlement to free a roster spot.
  • The Titans signed former Raiders receiver Ramel Keyton as immediate depth following Burks’s expected absence to start the season.
  • Burks’s career has been hampered by concussions, turf toe, an LCL sprain and a torn ACL, limiting him to 27 games with 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown.
