Treylon Burks’ Shocking Injury: What This Fractured Collarbone Means for His Future on the Field

It’s tough watching Treylon Burks, arguably one of the Titans’ most promising wideouts, hit the sidelines once again. On a recent Saturday at Nissan Stadium, Burks suffered a shoulder injury—a broken collarbone, to be precise—while making a catch during practice. The news isn’t just a setback; it’s a painfully familiar tune for the 2022 first-round pick who has already battled through missed games and an ACL tear. With the regular season just around the corner, Burks faces an uphill battle, expected to miss the start of the campaign at the very least. This unexpected void in the Titans’ receiving arsenal might just open the door for some fresh faces like Xavier Restrepo and his college teammate Cam Ward to step up. Football fans, brace yourselves — the gridiron drama is heating up early this season! LEARN MORE

Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans’ receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo’s chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It’s an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday’s practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he’s going to miss time with the injury.
