Burks was seen walking out of the locker room under his own power, according to ESPN.
Burks hit his head on the ground late in the fourth quarter after trying to make a deep catch along the sideline and he lay motionless on the ground.
Burks’ mask was cut off before he was placed on a backboard. He gave a gentle thumbs up as he was led off the field.
“It’s a scary part of the game, the fact that somebody gets pulled off the field and you just act like it didn’t happen,” Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis said. “But that’s football. It’s a part of the game that we have to accept.”
