Tennessee Titans wideout Treylon Burks has been a solid receiving option for the Titans since he entered the NFL, but unfortunately, injuries have kept him off the field this season.
Burks suffered a concussion in Week 9 in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburg Steelers after taking a gruesome hit in the fourth quarter which will place the 23-year-old in concussion protocol. After having already missed three games earlier this season due to an injury, the Titans wideout may have a chance to miss Week 10.
Will he play in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Let's take a look at Burks' injury status.

Is Burks Playing in Week 10?
As per the latest update, the Tennessee Titans did add Burks to the injury report with a concussion. He was unable to practice on Wednesday but might be able to in a limited fashion before Sunday. This will definitely leave Burks' status up in the air to face the Buccaneers this Sunday.
The Titans are 3-5 on the season and currently sit last in the AFC South. Burks' ability to win jump balls and outrun defenders will bring help to newly named rookie starting quarterback Will Levis but will need to be on the field healthy in order for that connection to thrive.
Going forward, if he is able to pass the concussion protocol and play in Week 10, expect Burks to see an increased amount of targets with Levis now at the starting quarterback position. If he is unable to return this week, Burks should be able to return in Week 11 in Jacksonville.
Burks Fantasy Football Injury Outlook
In the five games that he has played this season, Burks has recorded just eight receptions for 122 yards and has yet to score a touchdown this season. He is averaging 24.4 receiving yards per game and 15.3 yards per reception, for an average of 3.6 targets per game.
His output has been underwhelming, but as mentioned above, we could see him getting better throughout the season with Levis now taking the starting quarterback position. Levis has thrown for 500 total passing yards and four touchdowns in two games played.
It may be a week too early for Burks to return after taking a scary hit in Week 9, but the Titans should expect to see him return once he exits the concussion protocol.
