Tennessee Titans wide receiver reportedly suffered a fractured collarbone during Saturday’s practice, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
The 25-year-old wide receiver is undergoing further testing and a definitive timeline is unknown. Burks is expected to miss at least the start of the regular season.

“Treylon Burks is being evaluated right now for a shoulder injury,” Titans head coach Brian Callahan said after practice. “We’ll have an update on his status at the appropriate time”
Per The Tennessean’s Alex Daugherty, Burks suffered the injury after making a diving catch along the sideline from a Cam Ward pass. After he landed, Burks grabbed his shoulder and went to the locker room after a discussion with athletic trainers.
Ramel Keyton has been signed following Burks’ injury. Keyton played eight games last season with the Las Vegas Raiders
Injury-filled start to NFL career for Burks
The injury is a tough blow for Burks, who played only five games last season after undergoing season-ending surgery to repair his ACL.

The 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft has had a difficult start to his NFL career. Burks, who had his fifth-year option declined in April, missed five games in each of his first two seasons and then suffered the ACL injury in 2024. He has one career receiving touchdown and just 53 total receptions in three seasons.
Burks’ absence takes away a passing option for Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in April’s NFL draft. New Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi made changes to the team’s receiver room by signing Van Jefferson and Tyler Lockett in free agency, drafting Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor and letting Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd walk.

The Titans ranked 25th in the NFL in total receptions (336) and receiving yards (3,621) last season.
The Titans begin the 2025 season at the Denver Broncos.
