The Tennesse Titans had a joint practice session with the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday that had been closed with concerns about their veteran player Treylon Burks.
Treylon was forced to sit out for six games owing to a number of injuries in his first campaign for which concern over his overall fitness grew. Nevertheless, within a short time, following the recent updates on his injury, the Titans squad will probably be able to brush off at least some of their concerns.
Injury update on Treylon Burks
Burks injured himself while grabbing interceptions from the second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The receiver was seen falling to the ground and then grabbing his feet shortly after the reception. He knelt down with both hands on his knees since he was unable to bear weight on his left leg.
Later he was carted off the field with the assistance of the trainers. Nevertheless, the Titans were crossing their fingers regarding his availability before the regular season, fortunately within a few hours, Burks was made aware of an LCL sprain. His injury now set him to not suffer long while the probability of going through surgery is also dismissed.
In his first season, the No. 18 overall choice in the 2022 NFL Draft registered 33 receptions, 444 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He suffered numerous injuries in his first season, including a toe injury and a concussion, for which he was placed under monitoring to prevent further harm.
How long will Treylon Burks spend on the recovery table?
Per the report, the 23-year-old avoided a critical knee injury and could potentially return within a few weeks. The recent update projects him to be ready prior to the start of the regular season. If his recovery goes as planned, it could be a tad optimistic to anticipate him home for Week 1, as noted by Sports Illustrated.

Back in January when the one-year vet was busy in bagging his first season experience, he let know the NFL world his determination for the upcoming campaign with the Titans.
“It’s been a rookie year that I’ll remember. I’m grateful for every opportunity that I got. Now (I need to) take this offseason like I know how and come back and get better.”
Burks showed his dedicated mentality for his team who paved the road for him to cement his name in the league. Hence, he reportedly wanted to repay every penny of their assistance.
“Not taking anything for granted. Go out there and approach every day like it’s your last day, be thankful four your teammates, coaches, family. Soak all of it in and just have fun.”
Do you think Burks will be able to maintain his form after going through his current injuries? Share your thoughts with us below!
