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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Jun 11, 2025 4:12 PM EST
As expected, the Tennessee Titans officially did not pick up the fifth-year option for the 2026 season on wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee). The fifth-year option would have guaranteed Burks $15.493 million for the 2026 season, which is way too much to give a player that has missed significant time due to injury in his first three NFL seasons after he was taken 18th overall in 2022 out of Arkansas. The 25-year-old wideout tore the ACL in his knee in Week 6 of last year, too, and isn't expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 season this fall. Not much should be expected of him when he's able to return this year, especially after Tennessee added veterans Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson in free agency this offseason. It 27 total games played (17 starts) over three seasons, Burks has just 53 catches on 92 targets for 699 yards and only one touchdown. He'll be an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season.
May 1, 2025 7:14 PM EST
Tennessee Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker said that the team is unlikely to pick up wide receiver Treylon Burks' (knee) fifth-year option. Burks is still working through his rehab for a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 6 of last year, and combined with his lack of production since being the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Arkansas, and it's not that tough of a decision for the Titans to move on after this year. The 25-year-old pass-catcher is not expected to be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season this fall as well. Since entering the league in 2022, he has just 53 catches on 92 targets for 699 yards and one touchdown in 27 games played (17 starts). Tennessee added Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson in free agency and Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike through the draft, which will make it even more difficult for Burks to contribute in 2025 whenever he's past his knee injury.
Apr 28, 2025 10:50 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is unlikely to be ready for training camp this summer, A To Z Sports' Buck Reising reports. Burks, who has been a major bust for the Titans since they selected him 18th overall in 2022 out of Arkansas, was placed on Injured Reserve last year on Oct. 19 and eventually had surgery to address damage in his ACL. The 25-year-old didn't have a full tear of his ACL, which is good news, but he still isn't expected to be ready for training camp and also might not be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season. It's more disappointment for the young wideout, who has completely fallen off the fantasy radar at this point, even in dynasty/keeper leagues. Through his first three NFL seasons, Burks has only 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown on 92 targets. The Titans added Van Jefferson in free agency, but they'll surely address the position in the upcoming draft as well.
Mar 31, 2025 12:51 PM EST
The move to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown and replace him with Treylon Burks (knee) was one of the worst personnel moves in Tennessee Titans franchise history, and one of the worst in recent NFL memory, and The Athletic's Joe Rexrode thinks the Titans need to stop waiting for Burks to be a factor. Rexrode points out that Burks' 2025 salary cap hit and dead-money number are both $4.6 million if the Titans cut him, and he thinks it's totally worth doing to move on and give Burks a fresh start. The 24-year-old former first-rounder in 2022 has played in only 27 of a possible 51 games due to injuries and also had surgery in 2024 to address damage to his ACL. When Burks has been on the field, he's done very little, catching 53 passes for 699 yards and one touchdown. There's no guarantee that Burks can turn it around with Tennessee or another organization, though, especially coming off his knee injury.
Feb 22, 2025 1:23 PM EST
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) had surgery on his torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Burks has been a bust for the Titans since they selected him 18th overall in 2022 out of Arkansas. The 24-year-old has played in only 27 games (17 starts) in his first three seasons in the NFL and has caught 53 passes on 92 targets for 699 yards and only one touchdown. He had been on Injured Reserve since Oct. 19. Burks wasn't exactly dealing with a full tear of his ACL, so perhaps he will be in play to start the 2025 regular season on time for the Titans. In just five games played in 2024 before his injury, Burks was well off the fantasy radar and had just four receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets. The Titans will continue to use Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd in three-wide sets.
Dec 4, 2024 3:53 PM EST
According to sources, the Tennessee Titans are expected to place wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) on Injured Reserve after he suffered a non-contact knee injury in practice this week. Moving Burks to IR would mean he would not be eligible to play for the next four weeks. The earliest Burks would be eligible to return would be for a Week 11 date against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 17. The 24-year-old former 18th overall pick in 2022 out of Arkansas has been a bust for the Titans in two-plus seasons in the NFL. In five games this year, he's caught four of eight targets for 34 yards and no touchdowns and is well off the fantasy radar, especially after his new knee injury. In Burks' absence for the foreseeable future, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who caught a touchdown in last week's loss to the Colts, should see more run as depth behind Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.
