Titans WR Treylon Burks Returns to Practice, Will Levis Limited As Preparation for Indianapolis Colts Begins

The Tennessee Titans were back out on the practice field as they prepare for a Week 13 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. There are absences to discuss of course, but the big news was the return of wide receiver Treylon Burks, who had not practiced since suffering a concussion against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9.

The Tennessee Titans were back at practice on Wednesday as they begin their weekly preparation ahead of their matchup with the Indianapolis Colts and as always, practice means an injury report. The first injury report of Week 13 brings some good news surprisingly.

Wide receiver Treylon Burks was back at practice as a limited participant. This is the first action we have seen for Burks since he suffered a concussion against the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 2. This was Burks' second concussion in as many years with the Titans.

That is why Burks has been absent for so long. Concussions are obviously nothing to take lightly and for Burks to suffer two scary ones in his first year and a half is concerning. It makes sense to be ultra-conservative. 

That is why it may not be wise to expect Burks to play this week. A return to practice is a positive sign, but it shouldn't be taken as a clear indication that Burks is ready to return to action, although his return would be a massive help to the struggling offense.

Along with Burks, right guard Daniel Brunskill, linebacker Luke Gifford and quarterback Will Levis were limited. Levis appeared to be hobbled by his ankle injury at practice on Wednesday so his status requires attention.

Safety Terrell Edmunds is the final name to discuss. Edmunds was a full participant after missing last week's game. He will be added back into a crowded safety rotation with Elijah Molden and K'Von Wallace if he is able to play Sunday.

The Colts injury list was longer than the Titans, featuring seven players. Cornerback Juju Brents, wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and running back Jonathan Taylor did not practice while defensive lineman DeForest Buckner was limited and center Ryan Kelly, tight end Drew Ogletree and offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann were full participants.
