Commanders' Treylon Burks: Could be back for Week 10
Rotowire
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that he's "more optimistic" that Burks (foot) will be available for Thursday's game against the Giants, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Quinn expects to have better feel for Burks' status Tuesday, when the team will hold the most intense of its light practices leading up to Thursday's game. Burks was unable to play in this past Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams due to the foot injury, but once healthy, he'll likely be in line for a regular top-three role at receiver while Terry McLaurin (knee) is lost for the season.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Ruled out for Week 9
Rotowire
Burks (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
With Burks out and Dyami Brown (calf) injured in Friday's practice, the Commanders could be digging even deeper into their depth at wide receiver after Terry McLaurin suffered a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago. Look for Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams to be every-down wideouts against Los Angeles.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: No practice Thursday
Rotowire
Burks (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Burks is mimicking his practice regimen from a week ago, when he kicked it off with back-to-back DNPs due to a foot issue. If he follows last week's regimen, he'll be limited Friday and enter the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. While playing through the injury this past Sunday against the Eagles, he tallied a 68 percent snap share and recorded three catches (on five targets) for 81 yards.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Burks (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.
After back-to-back DNPs last Wednesday and Thursday, Burks got in a limited session Friday before being cleared to play Sunday night against Philly. He ended up recording three grabs for 81 yards as the Commanders' leading receiver in the contest. Burks should play plenty of snaps the rest of the season with Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the year.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Leading receiver thanks to 53-yard grab
Rotowire
Burks (foot) caught three of five targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Burks led the Commanders in receiving yards, with most of his team-high total coming on a 53-yard catch in the third quarter. He finished third on the team in targets, two behind Antonio Williams and one behind Stefon Diggs. Burks has 147 receiving yards over his last two games and is expected to work alongside Williams and Diggs in three-receiver formations moving forward as the Commanders play out the season without Terry McLaurin (knee). Washington's likely to fall behind in Week 9, which could lead to more targets for Burks, albeit against a tough Rams secondary.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Back at practice Friday
Rotowire
Burks (foot) participated in Friday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
After logging a DNP on Thursday, Burks' return to the field Friday gives him a chance to suit up Sunday night against the Eagles. With Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the season, Burks is expected to take on a larger offensive role alongside Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams and Dyami Brown at wide receiver.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Burks (foot) didn't practice Thursday.
Burks was limited in Wednesday's practice, and it's unclear if his 'DNP' a day later was maintenance-related or the result of a setback. If Burks is available Sunday against the Eagles, he'll have an opportunity to make an impact in a Washington WR corps that has lost receiving yardage leader Terry McLaurin to a season-ending knee injury.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Limited by foot injury Wednesday
Rotowire
Burks (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Burks was injured toward the end of Washington's Week 6 loss to the 49ers two Monday nights ago, but he was at least able to get in a limited session coming out of the bye week. With Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the year, Burks is expected to take on a larger role, along with rookie Antonio Williams, behind Stefon Diggs (hand) at wide receiver.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Season-best marks in catches, yards Monday
Rotowire
Burks finished with four receptions for 66 yards on six targets in Monday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers.
The reception, yardage and target totals were all season-best totals for Burks, whose heightened involvement in the passing game may have been a byproduct of No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin (knee) exiting the game late in the first quarter. Though Burks didn't see a major spike in playing time compared to prior weeks -- he was on the field for 37 of 67 offensive snaps (55.2 percent) -- he should be able to maintain a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams with McLaurin expected to miss time and potentially even being sidelined for the rest of the season.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Ready for Week 6
Rotowire
Burks (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game in San Francisco.
Burks practiced a limited capacity during the entirety of Week 6 prep due to a shoulder issue, but it won't stop him from being available Monday. Fellow WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable, and if he's inhibited or sidelined this week, Burks will stand to benefit in the Commanders' passing game. In four contests this season, Burks has notched five catches (on 11 targets) for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Still limited Friday
Rotowire
Burks (shoulder) remained limited in Friday's practice.
Stefon Diggs (hamstring) upgraded to limited after being DNP on Thursday, and Terry McLaurin got a veteran's rest day after returning from his hamstring injury last Sunday. Burks caught two of five targets for 26 yards in last Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Giants.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Season-high five targets in Week 5 tie
Rotowire
Burks caught two passes on five targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Giants.
Burks saw a season-high five targets during Sunday's game, which was second-most on the Commanders behind Chig Okonkwo (six). Burks only logged two catches, but his season was a 13-yard pass late in overtime that set the Commanders up well within field-goal range, only for Jayden Daniels to mismanage the clock to end the game on a tie. Burks has a 5-86-2 receiving line on 10 targets over his last three games, though his scoring floor would take a considerable hit if Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is cleared to play in the Commanders' Week 6 road game against the 49ers on Monday.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Produces long TD in London loss
Rotowire
Burks caught one of three targets for a 47-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.
With Terry McLaurin (hamstring) inactive, Burks saw increased snaps in the Commanders' wideout rotation that also involved Stefon Diggs, Dyami Brown and rookie Antonio Williams. Burks saw the fewest targets of the four and made the most of his one grab, breaking off a 47-yard score in the third quarter. If McLaurin continues to miss time, Burks should see rotational playing time at wideout, but he's not currently a playable fantasy option.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Ends season with quiet game
Rotowire
Burks caught two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.
Burks worked as Washington's No. 3 receiver throughout much of the second half of the season, ultimately catching just 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in eight games. The 2022 first-round pick is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Set to play Sunday
Rotowire
Burks (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Burks showed up Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness, but his return to all activity one day later sets him up to be available to the Commanders offense this weekend. While working with No. 3 QB Josh Johnson last Thursday against the Cowboys, Burks played 91 percent of the snaps but was targeted just twice, hauling in one of them for 11 yards. Burks likely will have a similar role Sunday working alongside top WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel and Johnson under center in place of Marcus Mariota (right hand/quadriceps).

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Held to one catch in loss to Dallas
Rotowire
Burks secured one of two targets for one yard during Thursday's 30-23 loss to the Cowboys.
Burks also attempted one pass on a trick play near the end of the third quarter, but he was sacked. Though Burks has found limited success as a deep threat in Washington, he was unable to get anything going with No. 3 quarterback Josh Johnson under center on Christmas Day. It will be beneficial to Burks' limited fantasy appeal if Marcus Mariota (hand) manages to return in time for Washington's regular-season finale against the Eagles in Week 18.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Leads team in targets in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
Burks tallied two catches on five targets for 30 yards Saturday in a loss to the Eagles.
Burks (45 offensive snaps), Terry McLaurin (45) and Deebo Samuel (44) logged nearly equal workloads, and Burks actually led the Commanders in targets. However, he finished third among the trio in yardage, with most of his production coming on a 24-yard catch on the first play of the third quarter. Of note, starting QB Marcus Mariota -- who was filling in for Jayden Daniels (elbow), who is out for the season -- didn't finish Saturday's contest after suffering a hand injury in the second half, and Josh Johnson had to take over following Mariota's departure. Washington's offense would likely be in Johnson's hands if Mariota has to miss additional time, which would figure to dampen the outlook of the team's passing game as a whole.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Burks (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Burks' finger injury prevented him from suiting up Week 11, and he's still managing the issue coming out of Washington's bye. He may have to log full practice reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Wideouts Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (knee, IR) have both also retaken the practice field for Washington, meaning Burks could find himself relegated to a depth role even if he's able to return Week 13.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Won't play Week 11 with injury
Rotowire
Burks has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a finger injury.
Burks was signed to the Commanders' active roster this past Tuesday and made an impact during Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Lions, when he led Washington with 58 receiving yards on three catches. However, the 2022 first-rounder came out of that contest with a finger injury, which was severe enough for him to undergo surgery Monday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Burks will miss Sunday's game in Spain, but the finger injury isn't considered a long-term issue, meaning he could be cleared to return following the Commanders' Week 12 bye.

Commanders' Treylon Burks: Getting signed to active roster
Rotowire
Washington signed Burks to its active roster Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Commanders are dealing with injuries to multiple notable contributors at wide receiver, so it's not a huge surprise to see them bring up reinforcements at the position. Burks logged 32 offensive snaps in his first game with Washington in Week 9, bringing in his only target for 14 yards.
