How long is Treylon Burks out for? Titans WR injury update & return timeline

Tennessee Titans rookie wideout Treylon Burks suffered an ankle injury while playing against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday. The injury came during the fourth quarter of the Titans' 24-17 win over the AFC South team.

The wideout caught a pass from quarterback Ryan Tannehill and tried muscling his way out for extra yards when a Colts player fell on his left ankle. Even after sustaining the injury, the rookie stayed on the field to complete the following play.

The injury sustained, though, was deemed too serious for the rookie to stay on the field and he was carted off by medical staff. Burks exited the game registering 14 receiving yards and one rushing attempt for four yards. Following the game, the former Arkansas star was seen on crutches with his left foot wrapped up in a walking boot.

He was even PFF’s highest graded rookie WR through the first two weeks of the season.

His injury will definitely leave an impact on the Titans offense that was looking to utilize their first-round pick as their second WR. We will soon learn the severity of the wide receiver's injury and how long he might be sidelined for.
