Head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Burks won't return from injured reserve this season after undergoing surgery to address ACL damage, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Burks was placed on IR back on Oct. 19, but the extent of his injury wasn't known at the time. Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Burks had been dealing with what was described as a "loose ACL" issue, as opposed to a full tear, and underwent the procedure a couple of weeks ago. In his continued absence, Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd will continue to lead the Tennessee wideout corps. The Titans will have to decide this spring whether to exercise Burks' fifth-year option for 2026, but the team will almost certainly decline the option after the receiver has tallied just 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown on 92 targets over 27 games through his first three seasons in the league.
