Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks was carted off the field following a brutal fall at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Tennessee was down 20-16 and had a 4th-and-4 at the Pittsburgh 46 as the clock was rolling with just over tow minutes left. They went for it and Titans quarterback Will Levis went deep to Burks near the left sideline. Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Levi Wallace heavily contested the catch, which resulted in Burks landing vulnerably on his back.
Treylon Burks almost made an insane fourth down catch… but he’s down on the field and hasn’t moved since.
Praying for him.

Burks was immobile and stayed down for several minutes before a stretcher was brought out to take him off the field. The 23-year-old wideout was able to give a thumbs-up as he exited.
