It was a heartbreaking moment for Tennessee Titans fans when wide receiver Treylon Burks suffered an injury after a hard fall in the fourth quarter of the Titans-Steelers game on Sunday.
Burks was attempting to make a catch in the end zone when he was hit by Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson. Burks lost his balance and fell to the ground, landing awkwardly on his shoulder. He was immediately taken off the field and into the locker room for evaluation.
The Titans later announced that Burks had suffered a shoulder injury and would not return to the game. The severity of the injury is still unknown, but it is likely that Burks will miss some time due to the injury.
Burks has been a key contributor for the Titans this season, catching 18 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns. His absence will be a big loss for the team, as they look to make a playoff push in the second half of the season.
The Titans have not yet announced a timeline for Burks’ return, but they will undoubtedly be hoping for a speedy recovery. In the meantime, they will have to rely on other players to step up in his absence.
The injury to Burks is a reminder of how quickly things can change in the NFL. It is a reminder that no matter how talented a player is, injuries can always derail their season. The Titans will be hoping that Burks can make a full recovery and return to the field soon.
