Titans WR Treylon Burks (collarbone) waived/injured
Burks was reportedly expected to miss the start of the season due to the injury, which occurred Saturday in practice while Burks was making a diving catch along the sideline from rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Burks immediately grabbed his shoulder and went straight to the locker room after speaking to trainers.
The waived/injured status triggers a 24-hour period when Burks can be claimed off waivers by another team. If he is not, he will return to the Titans on the injured reserve list and he will have five days to either reach an agreement with the Titans or become a free agent.
Injuries are nothing new for Burks, who missed a total of 12 games over his first two seasons before sitting out the final 12 games of the 2024 campaign with a torn ACL.
Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown in 27 career games (17 starts) since being selected by Tennessee with the 18th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. The Titans acquired that pick from Philadelphia when they traded wideout A.J. Brown to the Eagles.

New York gunman was targeting NFL offices but took the wrong lift, mayor says
A gunman who killed four people at a Manhattan office building was trying to target the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL) but took the wrong lift, according to New York City mayor Eric Adams. Investigators believe Shane Tamura, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people on Monday in the building's lobby but accidentally entered the wrong set of lifts, Mr Adams said in interviews on Tuesday. Advertisement Four people, including an off-duty New York City police officer, were killed. Police said Mr Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a rambling note found on his body suggested he had a grievance against the NFL over an unsubstantiated claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). He had played American football in high school in California nearly two decades ago but never in the NFL. 'He seemed to have blamed the NFL,' the mayor said. 'The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank.' Advertisement The note claimed he had been suffering from CTE – the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions and other repeated head trauma common in contact sports — and said his brain should be studied after he died, two people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. It also specifically referenced the National Football League, one of the people familiar with the matter said. The note also referenced former NFL player Terry Long, who was diagnosed with CTE, and the manner in which Mr Long killed himself in 2005. The note accused the NFL of concealing the dangers to players' brains for profit. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called the shooting 'an unspeakable act of violence in our building', saying he was deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded and the officer who gave his life to protect others. Advertisement NYPD officers stand in line during the dignified transfer of Didarul Islam, who was shot and killed by a gunman (Angelina Katsinas/AP) The shooting took place at a skyscraper that is home to the headquarters of both the NFL and Blackstone, one of the world's largest investment firms, as well as other tenants. The company confirmed one of its employees, Wesley LePatner, was among those killed. 'Words cannot express the devastation we feel,' the firm said in a statement. 'Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed. She was brilliant, passionate, warm, generous, and deeply respected within our firm and beyond.' A Yale graduate, Ms LePatner was a real estate executive at Blackstone, according to the firm's website, and spent more than a decade at Goldman Sachs before joining the firm in 2014.

Then, he started firing, police commissioner Jessica Tisch said, killing a police officer working a corporate security detail and then hitting a woman who tried to take cover as he sprayed the lobby with gunfire. New York police officers embrace (Angelina Katsanis/AP) The man then made his way to the lift bank and shot a guard at a security desk and shot another man in the lobby, the commissioner said. 'Our officer, he was slain in the entryway to the right as soon as he entered the building, the suspect entered the building,' Mr Adams said in a TV interview. 'He appeared to have first walked past the officer and then he turned to his right, and saw him and discharged several rounds.' Advertisement The man took the lift to the 33rd floor offices of the company that owned the building, Rudin Management, and shot and killed one person on that floor. The man then shot himself, the commissioner said. The building, 345 Park Avenue, also holds offices of the financial services firm KPMG. The officer killed was Didarul Islam, 36, an immigrant from Bangladesh who had served as a police officer in New York City for more than three years, Ms Tisch said at a news conference. 'He was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm's way. He made the ultimate sacrifice,' ms Tisch said. 'He died as he lived. A hero.'

New revelations emerge about NYC shooter's football career
The killer gunman who opened fire inside the Manhattan building that houses the NFL was once a promising high-school football player, it has been revealed. Authorities have identified Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old licensed private investigator from Las Vegas who once dreamed of a life in football, as the shooter who carried out a deadly rampage in the heart of New York City on Monday night. Tamura walked into the lobby at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and sprayed a long-form M4 rifle, shooting an NYPD officer in the back, before heading to the offices of Rudin Management on the 33rd floor and continuing the terrifying spree. He then took his own life, police have confirmed. At the time of writing four people have died after the shooting, including the officer who was working private security in the lobby. One other victim, an NFL employee, is stable in hospital on Monday night after being 'seriously injured' in the attack. As well as Rudin Management and investment management company Blackstone, the building at 345 Park Avenue is also home to the NFL headquarters, which is located on the fifth floor. Sources confirmed Tamura did not enter that floor, yet investigators are looking into into whether his motive was to target the NFL's offices given his past as a high-school football standout for Granada Hills Charter and Golden Valley in California. While he resided in Las Vegas, Tamura spent his high-school years in Los Angeles. He graduated from Granada Hills Charter, a Los Angeles Unified School District school located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, in 2016. Prior to that he attended Golden Valley, which is further north in the Santa Clarita Valley. According to high-school sports statistics websites MaxPreps and Hudl, Tamura operated as a defensive back, running back and halfback throughout his career in junior varsity with both schools. In a video posted online from the 2015 season, he can be heard giving a post-game interview in which he spoke of a victory with the Granada Hills team. Shane, who was instrumental in the win after scoring several touchdowns, said in the video: 'We were down 10-0, stayed disciplined and came together as a team. Couple of touchdowns.' The 2015 season, Tamura's senior year, appears to have been his most successful as a high-school football star. He picked up six Player of the Game awards over the course of that campaign, while registering 126 carries for 616 rushing yards and five touchdowns in nine appearances. In terms of receiving, the 5ft 7in, 140-pound player also registered 25 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns. Tamura also had 139 carries for 774 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 10 appearances for Golden Valley the season prior, as well as 16 catches for 103 receiving yards and a touchdown. It is unclear whether his football career continued after he graduated from Granada Hills Charter in 2016. has approached the school's athletics department for comment. Tamura eventually relocated to Las Vegas, where he earned a private investigator's license and obtained a concealed carry permit to carry firearms, both legally granted through Nevada's Sheriff's Department. The latter part of Tamura's life is largely invisible to the public. Investigators in both Nevada and New York are now urgently combing through his car, phone, and computer in search of answers to try and work out what stressors or perceived injustices led him to carry out Monday's deadly shooting. During a late night press conference NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the police found a rifle case with rounds, a loaded revolver, ammunition and magazines, as well as a backpack and medication prescribed to Tamura. 'Police want to know what brought him to that building, who or what the target was, and what the grievance or motive behind it might have been,' Miller explained. 'These cases often involve people who experience a downfall and begin to blame others - bosses, institutions, society at large. Then they decide to get even with everybody, even though in most cases, the problem is usually them,' Miller said. Investigators are also poring over Tamura's social media footprint, hoping it might offer clues - manifestos, threats, cryptic posts, or grievances that might have foreshadowed his violent act. As of now, police have not said whether Tamura had any personal or professional connection to the building or its tenants, but they are leaving no stone unturned. Authorities say there's no immediate evidence of any accomplices, but they are working methodically to verify that no other individual helped plan or facilitate his movements across state lines or into the high-security office tower. NFL employees were urged to 'hide' after Tamura stormed into the building and opened fire in both the lobby and the 33rd floor. According to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, a security alert sent to the league's employees read: 'Do not exit the building. Secure your location and hide until law enforcement clears your floor. Please switch phones to silent.' Photos posted online showed Tamura wearing a sport coat and button-down shirt while carrying the large rifle near the offices in Midtown Manhattan. He had a silencer on his massive weapon when he opened fire inside the lobby at around 6.30pm, with approximately 30 people inside.
