Treylon Burks<\/a>\u2018 tenure in Tennessee is on track to come to an end. In the wake of his latest injury, the former first-rounder has been waived. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This move has come with an injury designation, which comes as no surprise given the broken collarbone<\/a> Burks recently suffered in training camp. Injuries have plagued the 25-year-old throughout his brief NFL tenure, which began when Tennessee selected him with the No. 18 pick in the 2022 draft. That selection was acquired by dealing\u00a0A.J. Brown<\/a>\u00a0to the Eagles.<\/p>\n

Given the link between the two wideouts created by the trade, Burks\u2019 evaluations have always been measured against Brown\u2019s Philadelphia success. During each of his three seasons with the Eagles so far, Brown has earned a Pro Bowl nod and second-team All-Pro acclaim; the 28-year-old was also a key figure in the team\u2019s Super Bowl success in 2025. Burks, by contrast, entered this summer on Tennessee\u2019s roster bubble<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Arkansas product managed a career-best 444 yards as a rookie while being limited to 11 games. Optimism was high that, with better luck on the health front, he could round out his game and develop into a regular on offense with the Titans. Staying on the field has proven to be an issue, however \u2013 Burks missed six games again in 2023 and an ACL tear limited him to five contests last season \u2013 and when available he has not managed to meet expectations. The collarbone injury accelerated the timing for what could have been a decision to move on from the Titans closer to the start of the regular season.<\/p>\n

Tennessee\u2019s receiver depth chart will once again be headlined by\u00a0Calvin Ridley<\/a>\u00a0this season. Veteran\u00a0Tyler Lockett<\/a>\u00a0was added in free agency, as was\u00a0Van Jefferson<\/a>. The Titans used the draft to add a pair of Day 3 prospects at the position (Chimere Dike<\/a> and Elic Ayomanor<\/a>), and they will look to handle backup roles during their rookie seasons. Tennessee entered Monday with nearly $30MM in cap space, so finances will not be an issue if one of the veterans still on the market is targeted in the wake of this move.<\/p>\n

Burks is now headed to waivers, with all teams free to claim him. Provided he goes unclaimed, he will revert to injured reserve. Situations such as these often result in a release being worked out along with an injury settlement. If that proves to be the case for Burks, his Titans stint will end on an unwanted but unsurprising note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Treylon Burks\u2018 tenure in Tennessee is on track to come to an end.
