The Washington Commanders will reportedly be hosting WR Trylon Burks for a free agent visit tomorrow. He was a 1st round pick(18th overall) by the Tennessee Titans in 2022, drafted from Arkansas. Burks(6’2”, 225lbs, 25 yo) has dealt with injuries in all four of his NFL seasons, and was released by the Titans last week. He was placed on injured reserve after fracturing his collarbone during training camp.
Washington has been dealing with injuries at the wide receiver position this season. Terry McLaurin has missed the last three games due to a quad injury. Noah Brown just missed his fourth game due to a groin injury. Deebo Samuel has been dealing with a heel injury that has limited him in practice for the last two weeks. The Commanders have been elevating WRs from the practice squad every week, but ran out of elevations for Tay Martin last week.

The Washington Commanders are expected to make several roster moves soon. DE Drake Jackson is reportedly signing to the 53-man roster and G Sam Cosmi could get activated from the Reserve/PUP list this week. Washington will need to make corresponding roster moves to open up spots for both players.
If Washington signed Burks, it would likely be to the practice squad. The Commanders announced one move today, releasing G Tyler Cooper from the practice squad. There have been reports that G Julian Good-Jones could be getting re-signed to the practice squad after visiting last week.
