Hits COVID list Burks (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, as a result of testing positive for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Burks' potential absence Sunday against the Vikings would put a dent in the Packers' linebacker depth. Playing a rotational role this season, Burks has 29 tackles (21 solo) on the season.

Helps fill in for injured starter Burks put up three tackles (two solo) and a half sack in Sunday's 30-28 victory over the 49ers.

Impact Burks tallied just nine defensive snaps over the first two weeks of the season, but he nearly tripled that mark Sunday, playing 25 snaps after starting inside linebacker Krys Barnes left the game with a concussion. Burks did record a sack over his first three seasons as a professional, but he finally made a mark in that department in his 45th career game.

Leading tackler in win Burks finished with a team-high six tackles (four solo) and a tackle for loss in Thursday's 34-17 win over the 49ers.

Impact Green Bay's defense spent most of the game watching the Packers' offense dominate en route to a 34-3 lead before giving up a pair of largely meaningless scores in the final five minutes. Burks played a larger role in Green Bay's depleted linebacking core in this one, bringing his season tackle total up to 14.

Practices without limitations Burks (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Burks was limited by his lingering groin injury as recently as Wednesday, but he's now returned to full health. The 2018 third-round pick looks set to handle a starting role at inside linebacker against the Vikings on Sunday.

Still dealing with injury Burks is dealing with a groin injury and was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burks was dealing with an undisclosed issue that was keeping him out of training camp, but as evidenced by this news, he had his injury clarified. Burks has a promising chance to start at inside linebacker for the team this campaign when healthy, especially considering both Curtis Bolton (knee) and Kamal Martin (knee) will start the season on injured reserve.

Misses practice Sunday Burks (undisclosed) watched Sunday's practice from the sidelines, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Burks exited Saturday's practice early, but there's no indication of what the linebacker is dealing with. Heading into his third season, Burks has a good chance to secure a starting role, but he'll need to get healthy first to hold off promising rookie Kamal Martin and Ty Summers.
