Bo Nix and the Broncos offense could be getting a first-round pick weapon, and it will hardly cost them a thing
An exciting update that Broncos Country has to be happy about.
The Denver Broncos are in London for the matchup against the New York Jets. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions on the injury front for the Broncos, with offensive lineman Ben Powers being placed on injured reserve and requiring surgery, a brutal blow for quarterback Bo Nix and the offense.
Linebacker Jonah Elliss’ status for Week 6 remains uncertain, though defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has said that rookie linebacker Que Robinson will fill in if Elliss isn’t able to go. Ahead of the matchup, outside of the game at hand, news broke about some potential help on the offensive side of the football, and it could be as early as Week 7 if everything goes smoothly.
Ian Rapoport broke the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the team would be bringing in former first-round pick wide receiver Treylon Burks for a visit.
Treylon Burks’ career was ravaged by injuries
The Tennessee Titans took Burks with the 19th overall pick in the 2022 draft, but injuries have plagued his young career. He has appeared in just 27 games over the past three seasons with the Titans.
He was waived on Tuesday, after he had been waived with an injury designation in July and reverted to the team’s injured reserve list.
Treylon Burks’ career stats with the Titans
- 2022: six games started, 33 receptions, 444 yards, one touchdown
- 2023: nine games started, 16 receptions, 221 yards, no touchdowns
- 2024: two games started, four receptions, 34 yards, no touchdowns
Burks is reportedly likely to take other visits outside of the one with Denver, but the Broncos’ front office may make it too difficult for him to walk away without joining the team. At the end of the day, it’s a low-risk, high-reward situation for the Broncos, and it likely won’t cost them much at all.
In terms of time or money, the Broncos have the upper hand here, with Burks looking to resurrect his career and put his best foot forward. The Broncos might win in more ways than one with his visit.
If Burks can stay healthy and walk away with a deal with the Broncos, Denver might find itself with an unexpected weapon for Nix as the season rolls on.
