While trying to make the catch just before the two-minute warning, he fell awkwardly and hit the back of his head on the turf. Levi Wallace was in coverage on the play but did not appear to make much contact with Burks. Players immediately signaled for medical help after he went to the ground.
The Titans’ medical staff removed his helmet, strapped him to a board, and took him to an ambulance for further examination. Burks was not hospitalized.
The Amazon Prime broadcast team reported that Burks was able to move his toes and captured him giving a thumbs up to the crowd with his left hand while being carted into the locker room.
A few minutes later, the broadcast team reported that Burks had movement in all of his extremities.
Burks, 23, was a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He entered the game with six catches for 99 yards on the season.
