Burks is expected to start in place of the injured Nakobe Dean (knee) in Sunday's divisional-round playoff game, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. With Dean sustaining a torn patellar tendon in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Packers, Burks stepped in and saw more defensive work in the second half, finishing the contest with five total tackles and one forced fumble. The Vanderbilt product is likely to remain in the Eagles' first-team defensive lineup with Dean sidelined for the remainder of the postseason. Burks is expected to start alongside Zack Baun as part of Philadelphia's top inside-linebacker duo in the divisional-round matchup against the winner of Monday night's wild-card game between the Vikings and the Rams....

Eagles' Oren Burks: Impresses in start
Burks recorded eight total tackles (two solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Cowboys. Burks filled in for the injured Nakobe Dean (abdomen) in the Week 17 blowout win, playing 100 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps. He impressed, leading the Eagles defense in total tackles while also stripping Jake Ferguson in the middle of the second quarter. If Dean plays through his abdomen issue in the Week 18 matchup against the Giants, Burks is expected to return to his reserve role. However, with the Eagles already having the secured the NFC's No. 2 seed, Dean will likely rest, paving the way for Burks to make his second consecutive start.... See More ... See Less -
Eagles' Oren Burks: Cleared to play Sunday
Burks (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants and is expected to play. Burks has yet to play a single snap on defense this season but is a special-teams stalwart for the Eagles, logging 96 snaps across five appearances. Burks has yet to record any stats from scrimmage in 2024.... See More ... See Less -
Eagles' Oren Burks: Finally back at practice
Burks (knee) participated at practice Saturday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Burks was out for most of training camp as he dealt with a knee injury, but it now looks like he's close to being back in playing shape as the regular season approaches. Barring injuries, he figures to play only a minor role in Philadelphia's defense in 2024.... See More ... See Less -
Eagles' Oren Burks: Misses another practice
Burks (knee) missed his third straight practice Monday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Burks inked a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Eagles earlier in the offseason, and he now appears to be dealing with a knee injury. The Vanderbilt product appeared in 15 games (five starts) with the 49ers in 2023, recording 46 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, while also intercepting one pass. Once Burks returns to full health, he's expected to compete for a rotational role in the Eagles' linebacker corps.... See More ... See Less -
49ers' Oren Burks: New career high in tackles
Burks finished with 46 tackles (29 solo), including one sack, and one interception in 15 games played with San Francisco in 2023. Burks served as the 49ers' Sam linebacker in base formations for most of the regular season, setting a new career high in tackles while playing the most defensive snaps (308) of his career. The six-year pro was also asked to replace starter Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) after the latter suffered a torn Achilles early in Super Bowl LVIII. Burks' strong contributions as a role player could earn the linebacker a shot at starting alongside Fred Warner to begin the 2024 campaign while Greenlaw continues his lengthy recovery. That scenario would require the 49ers to re-sign Burks, whose two-year contract expires this offseason.... See More ... See Less -
49ers' Oren Burks: Suiting up for NFC Championship
Burks (shoulder) is active for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Lions, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Burks sustained a shoulder injury in Thursday's practice and was limited in Friday's session. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Sunday that Burks was unlikely to play in the NFC Championship Game, but it appears the linebacker will battle through his shoulder issue. Burks had two solo tackles in the Niners' divisional-round win over the Packers.... See More ... See Less -
49ers' Oren Burks: Will play at Washington
Burks (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Washington, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Burks will return to action Sunday after he sat out the 49ers' last two games due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 14 versus the Seahawks. He projects to start as San Francisco's third linebacker in Week 17.... See More ... See Less -
49ers' Oren Burks: Set to miss time
Head coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that Burks will be "shut down for the next couple of weeks" with knee tendinitis, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Burks played just six snaps on defense and finished with one tackle before leaving Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks in the first quarter. Depending on his rehab and practice participation, he could make his return Christmas Day against the Ravens. With Dre Greenlaw (hip) also dealing with injuries, Dee Winters and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles could see more snaps at linebacker alongside Fred Warner.... See More ... See Less -
49ers' Oren Burks: Filling in for Greenlaw
Burks is expected to start at weak-side linebacker Sunday against the Browns, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Burks will draw the start with Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) inactive for Sunday's contest. Burks played a season-high 25 defensive snaps in Week 5 against the Cowboys and had five tackles (two solo) and an interception.... See More ... See Less -
49ers' Oren Burks: Season-best outing Sunday
Burks recorded seven tackles (four solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 31-14 victory against the Rams. The 27-year-old played every defensive snap with starting weakside linebacker Dre Greenlaw (calf) ruled out ahead of this contest. Burks has played over twice as many special-teams snaps as defensive snaps over the course of his five-year career, and his playing time will drop off significantly if Greenlaw is able to return against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 13....

49ers' Oren Burks: Practices fully Thursday
Burks (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Burks suffered a knee injury during the 49ers' preseason finale against the Texans, but his ability to practice in full Thursday implies he's moved on from the issue. The fifth-year linebacker could be poised for an increased role during Sunday's matchup against the Bears if presumed starter Dre Greenlaw (elbow) is unable to gain medical clearance prior to kickoff....

Packers' Oren Burks: Hits COVID list
Burks (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, as a result of testing positive for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Burks' potential absence Sunday against the Vikings would put a dent in the Packers' linebacker depth. Playing a rotational role this season, Burks has 29 tackles (21 solo) on the season....

Packers' Oren Burks: Plays reserve role in 2019
Burks had 11 tackles (seven solo) in 12 games this season. The 2018 third-round pick missed the first four weeks of the season with a partially torn left pectoral, but he returned for Week 5 and played a minor defensive role the rest of the season. Green Bay's top inside linebackers -- Blake Martinez and B.J. Goodson -- are both poised to hit free agency in March, leaving Burks, Ty Summers and Curtis Bolton (knee) as the remaining players at the position. Burks could enter training camp with a heavily increased role with a strong offseason, but the Packers likely will make outside additions to the position group, whether it be via the draft or free agency....

Packers' Oren Burks: Making season debut
Burks (chest) is active for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. Burks missed the first four games of the season, but he's ready to make his season debut. The Packers will remain cautious with Burks and will roll out B.J. Goodson to start at inside linebacker alongside Blake Martinez, but Burks will benefit by getting some game-speed reps under his belt.... See More ... See Less -
Packers' Oren Burks: Sheds non-contact jersey
Burks practiced Monday with a protective harness covering his injured pectoral and left shoulder, but he wasn't wearing a non-contact jersey, Jim Owczarski and Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report. Burks suffered a partially torn pectoral in the Packers' preseason opener on Aug. 8. He didn't make his first tangible progress on Packers injury reports until Sept. 18, showing up on that day's estimate as a limited participant. However, on all official reports in the meantime, Burks received a DNP. The Packers won't reveal his activity level this week until Wednesday, but he appears to be closing in on getting cleared for game action.... See More ... See Less -
Packers' Oren Burks: Spotted at practice Monday
Burks (pectoral) is participating in practice Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Burks wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week, so even if he's limited Monday, it'll be a step in the right direction. The second-year pro is vying to make his season debut Week 5 versus the Cowboys. Burks is set for a starting role in Green Bay's linebacker corps when he returns to the lineup.... See More ...

Packers' Oren Burks: Will be held out Sunday
Burks (chest) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. Burks will miss his second straight game to start the year. He didn't practice all week, so his chances of playing Week 3 versus the Broncos will depend on him getting on the field in some capacity first. For the time being, Ty Summers and B.J. Goodson will work in at inside linebacker.... See More ... See Less -
Packers' Oren Burks: Won't play Thursday
Burks (pectoral) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Bears, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Burks is still recovering from a partially torn left pectoral and didn't practice all week, so it's no surprise he'll miss the season opener. The injury isn't as bad as initially thought, however, so Burks should be able to return at some point this season. Expect a rotation of rookie Ty Summers and B.J. Goodson to operate at middle linebacker in Burks' absence.... See More ... See Less -
Packers' Oren Burks: Hoping to return in weeks
Burks has a partially torn left pectoral and hopes to return in a few weeks, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. Burks was initially feared to be facing an extended absence, but it now looks as through he'll be able to avoid injured reserve altogether. The 24-year-old will sport a harness this season and could be available once his shoulder is in good enough shape to handle the impact from hits.... See More ... See Less
