Treylon Burks diagnosed with turf toe, will not need surgery
There was some concern following the early exit yesterday from Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks via cart. It was early in the fourth quarter when he went down during Tennessee’s win against the Indianapolis Colts. The update still isn’t great, but it’s more optimistic than expectations were yesterday.
According to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Burks has been diagnosed with turf toe. While he won’t need surgery, the injury will likely keep him out for some span of time.

Burks has caught 10 passes over the four games of his young career for 129 yards. He has been a solid fill-in thus far as part of the group effort in the wide receiver corps to replace AJ Brown. It will now take an ever better group effort from Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and the tight end group to help out Ryan Tannehill in the pass game in Burks’ absence.
Titans rookie Treylon Burks carted off after suffering significant foot injury
The Tennessee Titans are holding onto their lead over the Indianapolis Colts but it looks like they’ll be battling out the rest of the fourth quarter without rookie first-round wide receiver Treylon Burks. The first-year player out of Arkansas went down with what appeared to be a significant injury to his left lower leg.
According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Burks is out for the remainder of the game with a foot injury.
Burks went down and hobbled off the field before removing his cleat and sock. The Titans medical staff carted him off the field with 11:47 remaining in the game. Tennessee held a one-touchdown lead over the Colts.
Prior to being carted off, Burks had three targets for two catches and 14 yards. Coming into the game, the former Razorbacks star had eight catches for 115 yards.
