The Tennessee Titans have been hit with a disappointing setback with wide receiver Treylon Burks reportedly breaking his collar bone in practice.
The 25-year-old Burks, a first-round pick by the Titans in 2022 NFL Draft, is said to have sustained the injury making a catch on Saturday.
Tests are still being carried out on Burks, multiple reports said Saturday afternoon, but at the very least he is expected to miss the start of the season.
The move sparked Titans head coach Brian Callahan into immediate action. The team swooped for Ramal Keyton, who played for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 after going undrafted that same year..
With the Titans having a day off on Sunday, Keyton is expected to meet his new teammates on Monday morning.
It represents another frustrating injury for Burks. He tore his ACL in 2024, missing the back end of a difficult season for his team and during his first two campaigns, missed a total of 12 games.
But 2025 represents a new season of optimism after drafting a new quarterback in Cam Ward with the first pick earlier this year.
Burks has been looking to prove himself as a valuable weapon to his new teammate.
When he has been healthy, Burks has recorded 53 catches to his name for 699 yards, scoring one touchdown.
According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Burks had reported to Titans camp in 'great shape' but got hurt taking a diving catch on the sidelines.
After playing at college level for the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Titans took Burks with the 18th pick of the draft. The pick came their way as part of the deal that saw AJ Brown join the current Super Bowl champions, Philadelphia Eagles.
The Titans, who ended last season with a miserable 3-14 record in the AFC South, start the new season on the road to the Denver Broncos on September 7.
