Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Treylon Burks to miss a few weeks with LCL sprain
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, WR Treylon Burks suffered an LCL sprain in practice which should keep him out for a few weeks for recovery.
Fantasy Impact
Given the possibilities for Burks’ injury, this is a more positive result. He will miss a few weeks with his knee injury but could still be in play to be available for the Titans’ season opener on September 10, if not hopefully soon after. Burks was a popular “buy” candidate as there was anticipation for a sophomore-year rise. How he returns from injury remains to be seen, but he can be drafted on average as the half-PPR WR41.

Michael Pittman Jr. tweaks ankle at practice
Michael Pittman Jr.tweaked his ankle during practice and had it taped up.
Fantasy Impact
The report mentioned nothing about Pittman missing the rest of practice, so the taping was likely precautionary and he just suffered a minor stinger. However, it’s worth monitoring if the ankle flares up again.

Jordan Addison in concussion protocol
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison is in conclusion protocol and did not practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Vikings’ head coach Kevin O’Connell stated that Addison had light symptoms and could be back as early as Monday. Fantasy managers should have no concern as Addison should be back at practice soon. The first-rounder currently ranks as the WR37 in ECR.
