Burgess recorded 25 tackles (17 solo) across 12 games (one start) in 2023.
A 2020 third-round pick, Burgess made just three starts in three seasons with the Rams and mostly continued in backup role for the Commanders this past year. He did record 10 tackles in his lone start, Week 18, albeit as part of a Washington secondary that allowed the Cowboys to throw for 309 yards and four touchdowns. Burgess is scheduled for unrestricted free agency in the offseason.

Rams' Terrell Burgess: Set to compete for playing time
Rotowire
Burgess is healthy after missing the bulk of the 2020 season with an ankle injury, and he's expected to help fill the void left after Troy Hill and John Johnson signed with the Browns during the offseason, Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Burgess was selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft but played sparingly before sustaining a season-ending ankle injury in Week 7. With both Hill and Johnson leaving the club through free agency, there's an opportunity for Burgess to carve out a meaningful role in the Los Angeles secondary.
