Burns (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos. Burns was promoted from the practice squad Saturday but ultimately will stay on the sidelines Week 1. The 29-year-old will likely revert to the practice squad, but he may find himself with the opportunity to suit up Week 2 against the Patriots.

Seattle elevated Burns from its practice squad for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Burns was carted off the field with a toe injury during the Seahawks' final preseason game versus the Browns, but he's now apparently back in playing shape for Week 1 action. If he plays Sunday, a significant share of his snaps could come on special teams.

Burns exited Saturday night's preseason win over the Browns with a foot injury and did not return, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Burns was examined on the sideline with a left foot issue before being carted to the locker room. The veteran cornerback has been operating as the Seahawks' nickel corner this summer and started the preseason finale in that spot. A long-term issue would test Seattle's corner depth.
-
Burns posted 23 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups across 14 games during the 2023 regular season. Burns couldn't get ahead in a crowded cornerback room, but he did manage to start one game in 2023 and play more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps in two other contests. He'll be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Burns (knee) was a full participant at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Burns suffered a knee injury in the second half of the team's Week 17 loss to the Steelers but he now appears ready to go for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Cardinals. The 28-year-old will be back in his extreme depth role in Seattle's secondary for its must-win Week 18 contest.
