  • Could be ready for Week 1

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Getting in limited practice

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

    Analysis: It's an encouraging sign to see Burks working with the team as he heals from the ACL damage he incurred 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 that don't go to Calvin Ridley with veteran wideouts Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson, as well as rookies …read more

  • Option not picked up

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Not nearing return yet

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Done for season

    Head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Burks won't return from injured reserve this season after undergoing surgery to address ACL damage, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burks was placed on IR back on Oct. 19, but the extent of his injury wasn't known at the time. 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 ago. In his continued absence, Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd will continue to lead the Tennessee wideout corps. The Titans will have to decide this spring whether to exercise Burks' fifth-year option for…read more

  • Lands on IR

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

    Analysis: 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 first-round draft pedigree, as he has just four receptions for 34 yards across five games while playing a moderately high amount of snaps behind Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins.

  • Won't play in Buffalo

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Downgrades to DNP on Thursday

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

    Analysis: 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 can't suit up, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would step up as the Titans' fourth wideout behind Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.

  • Limited to open week

    Burks was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Burks played just nine offensive snaps during the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts and may have come out of the outing a little bit worse for the wear. Even so, he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Burks has seen his role in the Titans offense decrease as the season has progressed, and he's thus far been limited to four receptions for 34 yards through five games.

  • Role shrinks in loss

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Another one-catch game

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

    Analysis: Burks continued to play around 50 percent of offensive snaps and maintained a limited role in the Titans' game plan. He has no more than one reception in any game this season, and his 13-yard catch late in the first quarter Monday was his longest of the campaign.

  • One catch in Week 3 loss

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • No stats in Week 2

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Limited to three touches

    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.

    Analysis: Burks was on the field for 44 offensive snaps, which was 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.

  • Back at practice

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Exits practice Wednesday

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

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

  • Takes field with first unit

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Opportunity knocks

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Still has role in crowded WR room

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Drops to third on depth chart

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Not targeted in season finale

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Another quiet game

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Underwhelms against Seattle

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

    Analysis: 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 but 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.

  • Cleared to play Sunday

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Misses practice with illness

    Burks didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burks -- who caught all three of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime 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-round pick will be in line to maintain a key role in the Titans' wideout corps, especially after Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

  • Back on track

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Sees uptick in snaps

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Could play more this week

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

    Analysis: After missing three games with a concussion, Burks returned to action for Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to Indianapolis, finishing without a target on nine snaps. Burks 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 touchdown in 17…read more

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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 in that contest.

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Practices fully, but listed as questionable

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

    Analysis: 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 protocol for head injuries in order to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest. If Burks is able to play 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 line on 18 targets through five games.

    Analysis: 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 injury report will reveal whether Burks carries an injury designation into the weekend, but if he's able to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, he'll be on track to rejoin the Titans' receiving corps following a three-game absence.

    Analysis: Burks' participation in Wednesday's session marked his first on-field activity 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 and put an end to a three-game absence.

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

    Analysis: 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 through 6 due to a knee sprain. In his five appearances this season, 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.

    Analysis: Burks last suited up Week 9 and will now miss a third straight contest. His continued absence should lead to increased reps at receiver for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips. Burks' next chance to return to action will come Dec. 3 versus the Colts.

    Analysis: 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. Until he shows signs of progress, he should be viewed as unlikely to play Sunday against the Panthers.

    Analysis: 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 figure to see added snaps this weekend behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

    Analysis: 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.

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 snaps at receiver behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

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 behind No. 1 receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

  • Misses another practice

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

    Analysis: Given that head coach Mike Vrabel previously suggested that Burks isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Buccaneers, the wideout could be ruled out for the contest as soon as Friday. If that happens, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would step into expanded roles behind No. 1 receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

    Analysis: Per Wyatt, head 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 in fact sidelined this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips would be in line to fill snaps at receiver behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

  • Not expected to play Sunday

    Burks (concussion) is unlikely to play in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burks remains in the concussion protocol after slamming the back of his head on the ground in last Thursday's loss to the Steelers. This is at least his 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 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.

    Analysis: The report adds that the wideout -- who briefly lost consciousness before being carted off the field during Thursday's game against the Steelers, per Wyatt -- has communicated via text that he's on his way into the Titans' facility Friday. While Burks appears to have avoided a major injury, his status for the team's Sunday, Nov. 12 contest against the Buccaneers remains unclear at this stage.

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

    Analysis: 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.

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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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 he'll be reliant upon big plays and touchdowns to account for the majority of his production.

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.

    Analysis: 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 he 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.

    Analysis: 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 in the offseason. He's in a much better place entering 2023, and with the Titans having now moved on from Robert Woods, Burks will likely be relied upon for big production in a receiving corps that's mostly lacking in established options. If he's able to stay healthy, Burks should run away with the team lead for targets this season.

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.

  • Won't play Sunday

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Not practicing Thursday

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

    Analysis: 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 Burks 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.

  • No practice Wednesday

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

    Analysis: With head coach Mike Vrabel confirming earlier Wednesday that Burks was still in the concussion protocol, the rookie wideout's continued absence from practice isn't unexpected. If Burks can get back on the practice field in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, he'll still have a chance to play Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Still in concussion protocol

    Head coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that Burks remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burks missed this past Sunday's game against the Jaguars, and given that he's still in the protocol, the wideout may be at risk of sitting out another contest this weekend against the Chargers. If Burks isn't available this Sunday, Racey McMath, Chris Conley and possibly C.J. Board (ribs) would be in line to see added snaps at receiver behind starters 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.

    Analysis: The Titans' decision to rule Burks out for Sunday's contest isn't surprising considering he didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday after exiting early in the Week 13 loss to the Eagles. The rookie first-round pick will set his sights on returning Week 15 against the Chargers, but he'll first have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

    Analysis: Burks has been unable to practice since exiting early in the Titans' Week 13 loss to the Eagles with the concussion. The rookie wide receiver will be hard pressed to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to face the Jaguars on Sunday, so those relying on Burks in fantasy lineups should have an alternative ready to go.

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

    Analysis: Burks, who exited this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles after logging just 10 snaps, also sat out Wednesday's session, 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 and TE Chigoziem Okonkwo.

  • Feeling better, status TBD

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

    Analysis: 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 gain clearance to play Week 14, but fantasy managers likely won't know his official status until later in the week, at the earliest. If Burks is sidelined, Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be Tennessee's top two wideouts against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Scores unconventional TD

    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.

    Analysis: 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 goal line. 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…read more

  • Eclipses century mark in win

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

    Analysis: The rookie's night was shaping up as fairly average from a yardage perspective before he recorded 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 looks over his first two games back from a stint on IR with foot and toe injuries.

  • Three receptions in return

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Burks will begin practicing Wednesday and has a 21-day window in which to be added back to the 53-man roster. Prior to landing on IR on Oct. 8, the rookie first-round pick recorded 10 catches for 129 yards (on 16 targets) in four games. Once the wideout is up to speed and ready for game action, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim a key role in the Tennessee passing attack.

    Analysis: 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.

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.

    Analysis: 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 he recorded just one reception (on two targets) for 13 yards in the contest. Assuming the illness that sidelined him Wednesday doesn't affect his Week 4 status, the rookie first-round pick will look to turn in a bounce-back performance this Sunday against the Colts.

    Analysis: 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, Burks 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 span.

    Analysis: 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 like the Titans are 0-2 to begin the year.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    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.

    Analysis: 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 contest, which unfolds a week from Saturday night at home against the Buccaneers.

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,…read more

  • Initially listed as second-teamer

    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.

    Analysis: 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 the pace this summer, and, if so, he'll have a chance to justify his ADP, which currently is much higher than either…read more

  • Starts camp on right foot

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

    Analysis: 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 the rookie 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 (knee), who suffered an ACL tear last November.

  • Does well on conditioning tests

    Burks did well on conditioning tests ahead of training camp, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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 void created by the Titans' trade of last year's top pass catcher A.J. Brown. Assuming no setbacks, Burks figures to see a large share of targets as a rookie while working opposite veteran wideout Robert Woods, who…read more

  • Should be ready for training camp

    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.com reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Unavailable for minicamp

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

    Analysis: Per John Glennon of SI.com, Burks was spotted on a stationary bike, but the rookie wideout didn't participate in practice. The first-round pick's pro tenure is off to a bumpy start as he was limited during offseason workouts due to breathing and conditioning concerns, but Burks returned to full practices by the end of OTAs, and the reason he wasn't involved Tuesday hasn't been clarified. Regardless, if Burks can stay on the field, he has immense talent and could be a major factor in Tennessee's…read more

  • Encouraging progress

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • No limitations per HC

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

    Analysis: Despite positive comments from Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, 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 providing any more context. It doesn't appear to be a major issue at this point, but if Burks can't stay on field, it'll be hard for Vrabel to trust him during the regular season.
