EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have avoided a major injury for wide receiver Treylon Burks' left knee.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Thursday after the second day of joint practice with the Minnesota Vikings that Burks suffered no structural damage.

"I don't think it's going to be a long-term thing," Vrabel said. "I'm not putting a timetable on it, but I think it was a best-case scenario."

NFL Network, citing unidentified sources, reported that Burks sprained his lateral collateral ligament and will be sidelined for at least two weeks. The LCL stretches along the outside of the knee from the femur to the fibula. Burks was hurt Wednesday after catching a deep pass in a one-on-one drill, when he fell to the grass after stumbling forward and needed assistance off the field after limping to his feet and clutching his knee.

"We'll rehab him, and I know he'll work hard to get back," Vrabel said. "When he's ready to come back out he'll help us."

The Titans have higher expectations for their air attack this year after producing the third-fewest passing yards in the NFL last season, with the addition of three-time All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and the emergence of Burks, their 2022 first-round draft pick.

The Titans have led the league in each of the past two seasons for most players used because of injuries. They set an NFL record for a non-strike season with 91 players in 2021. Over the past two years, 137 players have seen action with the Titans, just ahead of the Chicago Bears (133) for the most in the league.
