Update, Nov. 3 — Burks is in the league’s concussion protocol as of Friday morning. This is the second concussion of his career.
#Titans HC Mike Vrabel: @TreylonBurks communicated via text he’s on his way into the facility. … He’s in concussion protocol. There was a brief loss of consciousness, which is why they reacted the way they did.

The Tennessee Titans are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9 of the NFL season. The Titans were driving late in the game, trying to make a comeback against the Steelers when quarterback Will Levis threw a deep pass to Treylon Burks. The wide receiver wasn’t able to come down with the pass and hit the ground hard. He is being attended to by medical personal and they have brought out a backboard for the receiver.
A scary scene in Pittsburgh as #Titans WR Treylon Burks is being carted off the field and being put on a backboard after that 4th down incompletion.

Before getting injured, Burks brought in two of his three targets for 23 yards. He has been the second wide receiver in the offense alongside veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Burks has struggled with injuries in his career, but this has been the scariest looking. After going up for the pass, he landed hard, and the early estimation is that he either has a neck or head injury. There are two minutes left in the game, but he isn’t likely to return for this one.
