TREYLON BURKS NEWS

Option not picked up The Titans officially declined the fifth-year option on Burks' (knee) rookie contract Thursday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Impact 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 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.
