EAGAN, Minn. — Tennessee Titans receiver Treylon Burks sustained an LCL sprain in his left knee at Wednesday's practice against the Minnesota Vikings, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Burks left practice midway through Wednesday after going to the ground to make a catch and injury his left leg. He was carted off approximately three minutes after the injury and did not return.

The Titans' first-round pick in 2022, Burks missed significant time to injury as a rookie but has been described as one of the top standout performers in training camp this offseason, alongside newly signed receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

The LCL, or lateral collateral ligament, is one of four main ligaments in the knee, along with cartilage and the meniscus. The LCL is the ligament that connects the femur to the fibula. LCL injuries are generally not thought to be as severe as injuries to the ACL or meniscus, and sprains are less severe than tears.

Per the NFL Network report, Burks is only expected to miss "a few weeks" with the injury.

Burks caught 33 passes for 444 yards and a touchdown as a rookie in 2022. He missed six games dealing with a toe injury first and then a concussion later in the season.

The Titans are in Minnesota this week for a pair of joint practices and a preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. The second and final joint practice will take place Thursday and the Titans and Vikings will face off in their preseason game on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
