The Tennessee Titans placed wide receiver Treylon Burks on injured reserve Saturday and promoted quarterback Trevor Siemian from the practice squad, which raises questions about Will Levis’ availability against Buffalo.
Coach Brian Callahan suggested on Friday that Burks would likely go on injured reserve after he injured his knee during practice this week. Callahan mentioned that Burks would be out for “some time no matter what.”
Burks, who was picked 18th overall in the 2022 draft, was acquired in the trade that sent Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown to Philadelphia on draft night. This season, Burks has four catches for 34 yards. In his career, he has 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown over 27 games.
The Titans (1-4) also listed Levis as questionable after he had limited participation in practice on Friday. Levis is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder, which he suffered on September 30. He only threw for 95 yards in last week’s loss to Indianapolis.
Levis practiced throughout the week but was limited on Wednesday and Friday. This situation could open the door for veteran Mason Rudolph to start, marking his first start since he played the last three games of the previous season for Pittsburgh, winning all three, including a 17-10 victory on the road against Baltimore in the season finale on January 6.
Rudolph joined the Titans during the offseason and came in to help secure Tennessee’s only win at Miami.
The Titans also signed defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson to the roster. Along with Siemian, they promoted defensive back Gabe Jeudy-Lally from the practice squad for this game.
