Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks recorded his first career touchdown catch in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but it proved to be his final play of the game.
In the process of making the catch, Burks was sandwiched in between two defenders but was still able to come up with the reception. Unfortunately, an illegal hit to the head from Marcus Epps ended Burks’ day.
The rookie wideout was down on the field following the hit but was able to walk off under his own power. He was evaluated for a concussion and later ruled out.

After the game, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel provided a bit of an update, noting that Burks appeared to be doing OK when he spoke to him after.
“I think he’s doing OK from what I’ve seen. I was able to see him at halftime and talk to him after the game,” Vrabel said. “We expect that [touchdown catch] from Treylon because I know what he’s capable of. It’s unfortunate he wasn’t able to finish the game.”
The loss was a big one for Tennessee’s passing attack, which struggled mightily the rest of the way without its best weapon.
We’ll certainly be monitoring Burks’ status throughout the week in the lead up to the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but more importantly we hope he’s OK.
