EAGAN, Minn. – Titans receiver Treylon Burks was carted off the practice fields here on Wednesday, and the development left his teammates concerned.
Burks went up to make a catch in practice on a deep ball thrown by quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Burks initially stood up, but after limping a few steps he went back to the ground with an apparent leg injury.
Teammates came over to visit with Burks before he was eventually carted off the field at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, where the Titans are practicing this week vs the Vikings.
"I went over and checked on him," Tannehill said. "You hate seeing that. We'll find out more information and see what is really going on. Hopefully he is going to be alright.
"He seemed obviously upset, and understandably so. Thoughts and prayers are with him right now and hopefully it's not too bad."
Titans coach Mike Vrabel spoke to reporters before practice, so he was not available for an update post-practice.
Titans safety Kevin Byard was on an opposite field, and did not see Burks go down, but he expressed concern after practice ended.
Burks put his hands on his head while on the ground as teammates DeAndre Hopkins and Derrick Henry came over to visit with him before he left the field.
A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Burks had been enjoying an impressive training camp before Wednesday's injury.
"It is very concerning," Byard said. "Obviously we don't know the severity – nothing is confirmed yet. I heard about. I am praying for him and hoping that everything is going well. He is a big part of what we do as an offense and as a team, so obviously you want everything to be OK."
