Fourth-year receiver injured making spectacular one-handed catch at Nissan Stadium
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks suffered a fractured collarbone during Saturday’s open practice at Nissan Stadium, according to sources confirmed by Bad Dawg Sports and ESPN. The injury occurred as Burks made an impressive diving one-handed catch during team period drills.
The Injury Details
- Burks chased down a deep pass from quarterback Cameron Ward along the sideline
- Made spectacular one-handed catch before falling to the ground
- Shoulder crashed into field first as he secured the ball after ground contact
- Injury extent first reported by NFL Network
Immediate Response Titans head coach Brian Callahan addressed the situation immediately following practice: “Treylon Burks is being evaluated right now for a shoulder injury and we’ll have an update on his status at the appropriate time.”
Roster Moves With Burks sidelined indefinitely, the Titans are signing former Raiders WR Ramel Keyton, according to his agent Zac Hiller of LAA via ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Keyton appeared in eight games for Las Vegas last season, recording just one reception.
Burks’ Recent Struggles The fourth-year receiver has faced significant injury challenges:
- Tore ACL during practice last October, ending his 2024 season
- ACL injury limited participation in OTAs and minicamp
- Reported to training camp in excellent condition, impressing new GM Mike Borgonzi
Career Context
- Selected 18th overall in 2022 NFL Draft
- Career stats: 53 catches, 699 yards, 1 touchdown in 27 games across three seasons
- Titans declined fifth-year option for 2026 season
- Had expressed optimism about returning healthy: “The last three years, my injuries limited me from being who I really am. I feel like I’m in a good place, man.”
Impact on Titans This latest setback represents another significant blow for both Burks and the Titans’ receiving corps as they prepare for the upcoming season. The timing is particularly unfortunate given Burks’ positive training camp start and renewed health optimism.
This injury continues a concerning pattern for the young receiver, who has struggled to stay healthy throughout his NFL career. The Titans will need to rely on their depth at the position while Burks recovers from this latest setback.
