Safety Jaquan Brisker hosts youth football camp just before Chicago Bears training camp

CBS News5 days ago
Chicago Bears veterans report to Halas Hall on Tuesday ahead of the first training camp practice under new head coach Ben Johnson a day later.
On Monday, safety Jaquan Brisker spent his final day of freedom on some familiar turf. He spent quality time with kids as he hosted his second annual youth football camp in Chicago at the University of Chicago Charter School Woodlawn Campus.
"The youth is our future — especially here in Chicago and [my hometown] Pittsburgh, it's so important just to, you know, let them match the face with the player and things like that," Brisker said. "I never got the opportunity, so I want them to have the opportunity to see me and meet me and things like that — and give them as much knowledge as I can."
The Bears' first training camp under Coach Johnson will be an important one for Brisker entering the final year of his rookie deal. It is a year Brisker looks forward to starting healthy, while learning a Dennis Allen defense.
"I'm very excited to get on working with Coach Allen. I know he's going to use me in a lot of different areas, which I love," Brisker said. I love playing, being a Swiss Army knife."
As for a Fellow defensive back Jaylon Johnson being on the non-football injury list, Brisker is not too concerned about the veteran leader's status at the start of camp.
"The crazy thing is I just saw that. Me and Jaylon have been training together in Vegas — a lot of Chicago players out there — and we were working. We were working very hard," Brisker said. "So I think he'll be fine. I'm not really worried. I know Jaylon."

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
