Titans’ Jon Robinson, Mike Vrabel talk Treylon Burks’ conditioning

One of the hottest topics of the Tennessee Titans’ offseason thus far has been the status of wide receiver Treylon Burks, who has had issues staying on the practice field.

After being in and out of practice during rookie minicamp due to asthma and apparent conditioning issues, Burks wasn’t available for either of the Titans’ open practices at mandatory minicamp.

Adding to the concern, we also found out Burks’ conditioning issues are nothing new, as his former head coach Sam Pittman detailed recently.

However, we got some good news this week, as ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported that Burks has lost weight, is in shape, and has shown “so much growth already” going into training camp.

The good news continued streaming in on Tuesday, as general manager Jon Robinson revealed Burks passed his conditioning test, while also noting Tennessee is excited about how things are going with the young wideout.

As far as his college conditioning and asthma issues go, Robinson said Burks was upfront with the team about that.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said Burks has “made good progress” since reporting to camp and doesn’t expect him to have any limitations.

“He has put together two good days, but I am not going to predict who is going to be out there every day right now,” Vrabel said, via Jim Wyatt of Titans Online. “We’re focusing on daily improvement with each and every player.”
