Treylon Burks injury update: Titans sign wide receiver Ramel Keyton

Mere hours after it was reported that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks suffered a fractured collarbone during the team’s training camp stadium practice, the Titans have made a corresponding move to help out the wide receiver room.

Tennessee is bringing in former University of Tennessee wide receiver Ramel Keyton, per ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Keyton went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, but signed with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent.

With Treylon Burks injuring his collarbone, Titans are signing former Raiders WR Ramel Keyton, per his agent Zac Hiller of LAA.

Keyton appeared in eight games for the Raiders last season, where he mustered just one catch for seven yards in a 41-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 3. He was subsequently waived by Las Vegas on April 25.

The Marietta, GA native played five seasons at Tennessee (2019-2023) under head coaches Jeremy Pruitt and Josh Heupel, where he recorded 86 career receptions for 1,456 yards and 11 touchdowns. His strongest season of play came in 2023, as he hauled in 35 receptions for 642 yards and six scores for a Volunteer team that climbed as high as No. 9 in the AP Poll rankings.

With Keyton’s signing, the Titans boast 11 healthy wide receivers in Tyler Lockett, Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, Mason Kinsey, James Proche II, Jha’Quan Jackson, Bryce Oliver and Xavier Restrepo. This list will however likely be chopped down following the preseason.

Burks’ injury comes as a big blow to Tennessee, as the former first round pick boasts 665 career receiving yards with one touchdown over three seasons. As talented as he is, injuries have really held his career back from taking that next step.

While in college, he was named First-Team All-SEC in 2021 and Second-Team in 2019 and ’20. He was also on the SEC All-Freshman team in 2019.

The Titans have had some bad injury luck to big positions so far. Recently, QB Will Levis underwent shoulder surgery and was ruled out for the season. That means No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward will be the starter (although this was always expected), barring something unforeseen. However, he now won’t have Burks at the start of the season to throw to.

Ward has since addressed his fellow QB’s injury after being asked his reaction to hearing the news about his teammate. It remains to be seen how he’ll react with Burks out.

“I really didn’t have a reaction. I focus on Cam Ward,” the Titans’ first-round pick said. “He made what’s best for him. Can’t be mad at somebody for doing what’s best for them. I wish him a speedy recovery.

“I’m hoping to see him on the field a lot more. He sat with me in OTAs, learning the install of everything. He’s a good football player. When he’s ready and he’s healthy, he’ll have a chance on the field.”
