Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Burks sat out in Week 11 due to a finger injury and didn't play last week with the team on a bye. He briefly moved into the No. 3 role in the offense due to injuries. However, Noah Brown (knee) and Terry McLaurin (quad) both returned to practice this week. Even if he's healthy, Burks might not be an ideal streaming option for the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) will not travel with the team to Madrid on Monday night and has been ruled out for the Week 11 contest in Spain on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to the team. Burks' frustrating career continues, as he was in line for a bigger workload in Washington's passing attack with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out for another game this weekend. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the former first-rounder of the Tennessee Titans underwent surgery on his finger on Monday. It's not believed to be a long-term issue, but the 25-year-old will miss Week 11. The Commanders have their bye in Week 12, so it's possible Burks will be ready to play in Week 13 versus the Denver Broncos. McLaurin, Burks, and Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) will be out in Madrid, leaving Deebo Samuel Sr., Chris Moore, and rookie Jaylin Lane as the team's top pass-catchers. Robbie Chosen will also have a bigger role.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks made his team debut in Week 9's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching his lone target for 14 yards. The former first-rounder in 2022 signed to Washington's practice squad in mid-October and was forced into more playing time than expected in his first game after fellow wideout Luke McCaffrey injured his shoulder on the opening kickoff. Burks played 50.8% of Washington's offensive snaps last week and will likely see an expanded role in Week 10 against Detroit. The 25-year-old is a talented player with good size, speed, and YAC ability, but has battled multiple injuries so far in his young career. There is plenty of opportunity for him to emerge in Washington with a lack of established pass catchers. Burks has some appeal in deep formats in a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks made his 2025 season debut in the Sunday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. The former first-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Arkansas caught his only target for 14 yards, but he played 51% of the offensive snaps and could have a bigger role moving forward with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) expected to miss more time. The 25-year-old was a major bust in Tennessee and had a hard time staying on the field due to injuries, but perhaps a change of scenery is what he needed. Burks could see more targets this coming weekend when the Commanders take on the visiting Detroit Lions, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues should temper their expectations with veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota back in the starting role, with Jayden Daniels dealing with a dislocated left elbow.

The Washington Commanders are signing wide receiver Treylon Burks to their active 53-man roster on Tuesday, a source told Ben Standig. Burks will return to the active roster after making his 2025 debut with the Commanders in the Sunday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks, where he played 51% of the offensive snaps and caught his only target for a gain of 14 yards. The 25-year-old former first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Arkansas will have an opportunity for an expanded role moving forward, with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) unlikely to play in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions, and with Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) potentially out for the year. Still, fantasy managers should temper expectations for Burks, as the Commanders could be without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the rest of the year, too. In three seasons in Tennessee, Burks was injured more often than not while posting a 53-699-1 line in 27 games (17 starts).
Nov 4, 2025 3:53 PM EST
The Washington Commanders elevated wide receiver Treylon Burks from the practice squad ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Burks was signed to Washington's practice squad in the middle of October as the team deals with multiple injuries to its wide receiver core. Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is set to miss his fifth game of the season, and Washington's depth options have struggled to emerge in his absence. Burks will make his team debut on Sunday Night Football with the opportunity to establish himself as an option for now and in the future for the Commanders. The 2022 first-round pick has battled injuries throughout his career, but flashed promising moments in his rookie year. The 25-year-old faces a tough Seattle secondary in Week 9, but could be a name to watch in deeper leagues over the next few weeks.
Nov 1, 2025 4:18 PM EST
The Washington Commanders have officially announced their signing of wide receiver Treylon Burks to a practice squad contract, per Commanders beat writer Ben Standig. A former first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2022, Burks suffered a broken collarbone in training camp and was released by the Titans from the Injured Reserve list earlier this year. In 27 career games with Tennessee, Burks recorded 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown on 92 targets. He should have an opportunity for playing time in Washington given the current injuries to wide receivers Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin, knee). The Commanders could also be without Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Burks cannot be trusted for immediate fantasy production, but he is a name to monitor in deep leagues due to the injury situation in Washington.
Oct 17, 2025 10:11 AM EST
Former Tennessee Titans first-round wide receiver Treylon Burks is expected to sign with the Washington Commanders' practice squad, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Burks is a low-risk, high-reward addition who played in a similar offense in college to the one that Kliff Kingsbury is running in D.C., and he could be elevated quickly to Washington's active 53-man roster. Before visiting with the Commanders, Burks had a meeting with the Denver Broncos this week. The Commanders' impending addition of Burks speaks to their need for WR depth, with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) potentially missing the Week 7 game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Noah Brown (groin, knee) was also put on Injured Reserve this week. Burks is an interesting addition, but he'll be behind Luke McCaffrey, rookie Jaylin Lane, and Chris Moore if McLaurin and Samuel cannot play.
Oct 16, 2025 6:19 PM EST
After visiting with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, former Tennessee Titans first-round wide receiver Treylon Burks will take a visit with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite not being able to avoid injuries early in his career with the Titans, Burks is one of the top free agents on the market in the middle of the 2025 season and should be scooped up sooner rather than later. The Commanders have a more immediate need for receiving depth right now, given injuries to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee). Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) also didn't look 100% in the Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears. The fact that Burks is taking visits with interested teams means that he should be healed from the broken collarbone that he suffered in July.
Oct 14, 2025 5:47 PM EST
Free agent wide receiver Treylon Burks (collarbone) is planning to visit with the Denver Broncos next week, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. A former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2022, Burks was released by the Titans earlier this year and is free to sign with any team. Burks has been cleared for football activities after suffering a broken collarbone during training camp, but it's unclear exactly when he will be able to take the field once he signs with a new team. The 25-year-old has recorded 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown in 27 career games. If Burks were to sign in Denver, he would be part of a crowded wide receiver room and would likely slot in behind Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant on the team's depth chart at the position.
Oct 11, 2025 2:36 PM EST
The Tennessee Titans waived wide receiver Treylon Burks (collarbone) on Tuesday, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Burks, a former first-rounder, suffered a fractured collarbone during practice in training camp and was waived with an injury designation back in July before reverting to Injured Reserve for the start of the regular season. He just was not able to stay on the football field in his time with the Titans, playing in just 27 games over the last three years. The 25-year-old pass-catcher had 53 catches for 699 yards and only one touchdown since debuting in 2022. Burks will be free to sign with any team if he clears waivers. He should get a look elsewhere, but it's unclear how soon he'll be ready to come off Injured Reserve. Burks remains a non-factor in fantasy, although maybe a change of scenery will treat him well.

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (collarbone) has been cleared for all football activities and is free to sign with any team, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Burks suffered a broken collarbone in training camp and was subsequently released by the Titans while on Injured Reserve. A former first-round pick by Tennessee in 2022, Burks recorded 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown in 27 games across three injury-filled seasons for the Titans. He's currently a long way from fantasy relevance, but Burks could be a name to monitor if he catches on with a new team.
Oct 6, 2025 9:39 PM EST
The Tennessee Titans have waived/injured wide receiver Treylon Burks (collarbone), according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Burks fractured his collarbone over the weekend and appears likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. A former first-round selection by Tennessee back in 2022, Burks never found his footing with the organization. Injuries limited him to just 27 games in three seasons, and he recorded 92 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown in those appearances. Tennessee has veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett atop their wide receiver depth chart, with rookies Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor competing with Van Jefferson for the WR3 job. Burks may have to wait until late this season or even 2026 for a chance to salvage his career, and it seems unlikely that he'll get that opportunity in Tennessee.
Jul 28, 2025 4:34 PM EST
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (shoulder, knee) fractured his collarbone during Saturday's practice. Rapoport notes that the wideout will undergo further testing, but will miss "the start of the season at least." He sustained the injury while making a diving grab up the sidelines. It's a massive blow to Burks, who was still recovering from a torn ACL he picked up a season ago. The door seems to be left open for him to come back at some point in 2025, but it's undoubtedly a detriment that he'll miss this critical rapport-building period in camp with rookie quarterback Cam Ward. As of now, veteran Van Jefferson figures to play in three-wide receiver sets primarily. That could change over the next few weeks if one of the rookie wideouts, Elic Ayomanor or Chimere Dike, makes a push for the starting offense.
Jul 26, 2025 3:26 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (shoulder/knee) exited Saturday's practice after making a great diving catch up the right side against Jarvis Brownlee. But he lands out of bounds. Relief that he bounced right up. But then he's holding his left clavicle, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. At this point, the severity of Burks' injury is unclear; however, as things currently stand, if Burks were to miss any additional time, Tyler Lockett would be the top pass-catching option for Cam Ward, with Van Jefferson and Chimere Dike seeing an increase in reps and targets while Burks remains sidelined. Burks had his 2024 campaign cut short due to a torn ACL, so getting injured early on in camp is a tough break for the former 2022 first-round pick out of Arkansas. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on any updates to the severity of his injury in the coming days.
Jul 26, 2025 2:09 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie first-round quarterback Cam Ward said that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is going to be one of the team's top receivers this year and said he's excited to have him out there, according to Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt. We'll believe it when we see it. Burks has been a bust for the Titans after they took him with the 18th overall selection in 2022, mainly due to injuries that have kept him off the field. The 25-year-old product of Arkansas tore his ACL last year but is back practicing with the team in training camp this summer. The good news is that Burks could still make his mark behind Calvin Ridley if he's healthy, although Tennessee did add veterans Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson in free agency and Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor in the draft. Burks will have to prove it before fantasy managers consider him off the waiver wire.
Jul 24, 2025 1:54 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is fully cleared for training camp, according to Teresa Walker of the Associated Press. Burks tore his ACL in Week 6 of the 2024 season. A former first-round pick back in 2022, the 25-year-old Burks has struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness throughout his career. In 27 career games across three seasons, he's logged 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown. The Titans have a clear number one wide receiver in Calvin Ridley and brought in veteran Tyler Lockett this offseason, but there's opportunity behind those two to earn targets. Van Jefferson and fourth-round rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike figure to be Burks' main competition for the WR3 job in Tennessee. Burks will have to prove he's both healthy and worthy of consistently earning targets before he gets back on the fantasy radar.
Jul 22, 2025 2:54 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is expected to be good to go for training camp after only taking part in individual workouts during OTAs and minicamp this spring, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. It's good news for Burks, who tore his ACL in Week 6 of last year, although the Titans could still take it easy on the injury-prone pass-catcher early on in camp. The 25-year-old former 18th overall pick in 2022 out of Arkansas hasn't lived up to his first-round billing so far. He played a career-low five games last year due to his knee injury and has a combined 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown in his three NFL seasons. Burks will need to stay healthy and impress the coaching staff in order to win a starting role behind WR1 Calvin Ridley. Fantasy managers shouldn't be holding their breath for Burks at this point.
Jul 21, 2025 6:32 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during a special-teams drill last October, but the former first-round pick out of Arkansas is already running and going through drills this offseason. Burks' career has not gone to plan, as he has registered just 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown in 27 career games since essentially replacing A.J. Brown in Tennessee. However, Burks is not concerned with the doubters and is self-motivated heading into 2025. "I am not going out to prove nobody wrong, I am going out to prove myself right, Burks said." While it would be a nice feel-good story if Burks breaks out, there's a chance he will be released by the Titans following training camp. The team has Calvin Ridley on the roster and added wideouts Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson via free agency. They also drafted Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo and 2024 NFL draft pick Jha'Quan Jackson are among other WRs fighting for a roster spot.
Jun 19, 2025 3:00 PM EST
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan reported on Wednesday that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from the ACL injury he suffered in Week 6 of 2024. "I think if you asked me that question at the beginning of the offseason program, he's definitely doing, probably more than I thought, which is good," said Callahan. He also noted that he's hopeful the 25-year-old will be cleared for the start of training camp. For what it's worth, he's "at about 80%." Burks hasn't developed since Tennessee selected him No. 18 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, and he'll deal with more competition for playing time in 2025. The Titans added a plethora of pass-catching talent this offseason, including veteran Van Jefferson and intriguing rookie wideouts Xavier Restrepo, Chimere Dike, and Elic Ayomanor.
