Former First-Round WR Set to Visit Washington Commanders for Possible Roster Move
The Washington Commanders are preparing to host wide receiver Treylon Burks for a visit. Burks, a 2022 first-round draft pick, was selected 18th overall by the Tennessee Titans. The former Arkansas player, standing 6’2″ and weighing 225 pounds, is 25 years old. Unfortunately, his NFL career has been hampered by injuries, resulting in his recent release by the Titans after a collarbone fracture during training camp.
Commanders Face Wide Receiver Challenges
The Commanders are contending with multiple injuries in their wide receiver lineup. Star player Terry McLaurin has missed three consecutive games due to a quad injury. Noah Brown was absent for the fourth game, suffering from a groin injury. Additionally, Deebo Samuel’s participation has been restricted in practice because of a heel issue over the past two weeks.
Roster Adjustments and Potential Moves
Washington’s strategy has involved elevating players from the practice squad weekly. Recently, they exhausted their options for Tay Martin. Looking ahead, the Commanders are expected to make several roster adjustments.
- Defensive End Drake Jackson is set to join the 53-man roster.
- Guard Sam Cosmi might be activated from the Reserve/PUP list within the week.
- Treylon Burks could potentially join the practice squad if signed.
The Commanders have already released Guard Tyler Cooper from the practice squad, possibly making room for Burks or other players. Reports also indicate that Guard Julian Good-Jones, who visited last week, may rejoin the practice squad soon.
Treylon Burks’ NFL Journey
Burks’ tenure with the Titans saw him playing in 27 games over three seasons. His stats reveal 53 receptions for 699 yards, averaging 13.2 yards per reception, and securing one touchdown. Despite his potential, injuries have limited his NFL impact.
As the Commanders prepare for potential roster moves, Burks’ visit could prove significant in strengthening their receiving capabilities.
