Burton was placed on injured reserve by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports. Burton suffered a hamstring injury during training camp, and he will now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign as a result of being on IR. The fullback would be eligible to return to action this season if he reaches an injury settlement with Denver, otherwise he'll shift his focus to 2026.

Burton has a hamstring injury, head coach Sean Payton said Thursday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports. Burton has been sidelined in practice throughout August due to a previously undisclosed injury, which has now been clarified as a hamstring injury. Once healthy, he isn't expected to face competition for the team's fullback role.

Burton (undisclosed) didn't practice Saturday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Burton wasn't in pads for Saturday's session, though it's unclear whether he suffered an injury or is just getting a rest day. He hasn't missed a game since joining the Broncos in 2023 and is expected to serve as the team's fullback again during the upcoming campaign.

The Broncos re-signed Burton on Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Burton suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Denver in 2024, mostly working in a special-teams role while contributing occasionally as a blocker on offense. He totaled seven carries for eight yards and a touchdown on the year, while also securing all 10 of his targets for 65 yards and an additional score. He'll spend the offseason competing to again secure the team's top fullback spot.

Burton caught all three of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Burton's touchdown was his first score through the air this season and second trip to the end zone overall in 2024. The veteran fullback played just 10 of the Broncos' 64 offensive snaps Thursday, playing in his usual part-time role in Denver's offense. Despite the score in Week 16, Burton remains far off the fantasy radar due to his extremely limited usage. Next up for the Broncos is a matchup against the Bengals in Week 17.
