Wide receiver Treylon Burks was waived/injured by the Tennessee Titans Monday, two days after sustaining a fractured collarbone.
Burks was reportedly expected to miss the start of the season due to the injury, which occurred Saturday in practice while Burks was making a diving catch along the sideline from rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Burks immediately grabbed his shoulder and went straight to the locker room after speaking to trainers.
The waived/injured status triggers a 24-hour period when Burks can be claimed off waivers by another team. If he is not, he will return to the Titans on the injured reserve list and he will have five days to either reach an agreement with the Titans or become a free agent.
Injuries are nothing new for Burks, who missed a total of 12 games over his first two seasons before sitting out the final 12 games of the 2024 campaign with a torn ACL.
Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown in 27 career games (17 starts) since being selected by Tennessee with the 18th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. The Titans acquired that pick from Philadelphia when they traded wideout A.J. Brown to the Eagles.
