Commanders veteran may have played his last snap after Treylon Burks signing

"The Washington Commanders are turning over every stone to rectify some glaring injury problems in their wide receiver room. It's a grave concern right now, but Adam Peters won't sit back and let this unit become a weak link, especially with so much at stake. This was further evidence by the signing of Treylon Burks to the Commanders' practice squad. The wideout was reportedly in high demand after he departed from the Tennessee Titans. He visited the Denver Broncos before descending on Ashburn, and this could be the environment where his physical attributes are put to much better use."

"Burks has a chance to earn playing time quickly with a smooth adjustment. Kliff Kingsbury's scheme looks well-suited to his physical attributes, so developing some early chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels should stand him in good stead. He's also a lot younger than most acquisitions made by Peters, so there is also some long-term upside attached if everything comes together."

"Noah Brown could be the most impacted. He's just been placed on injured reserve despite not featuring since Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. The Commanders had hoped he would recover quickly, but that has not been the case. It's an ongoing and concerning trend for Brown. He missed Washington's memorable playoff run through injury. He got a new deal but was carted off at mandatory minicamp, ruining his summer preparations. The former Ohio State star got back for the season, but he didn't last long."

The Washington Commanders added Treylon Burks to the practice squad amid multiple wide receiver injuries and depth concerns. Burks drew interest after leaving the Tennessee Titans and visiting the Denver Broncos before joining Washington. Kliff Kingsbury's offensive scheme aligns with Burks' physical traits, creating opportunity for quick chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels and potential early playing time. Noah Brown was placed on injured reserve after minimal 2024 participation and a history of missed time, increasing the likelihood Burks could supplant him if Burks performs. The move reflects both short-term needs and possible long-term upside.
