Major Burns: Breaking News

Tries out with Tennessee

The Titans hosted Burns (knee) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Burns has seemingly recovered from the knee injury that landed him on Chicago's injured reserve before he was waived in August. If he catches on with Tennessee, the 23-year-old could provide some much-needed depth at safety, as Xavier Woods is currently dealing with a hamstring injury.

Reaches injury settlement

Burns (knee) was waived from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement with the Bears on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Burns suffered a knee injury in the Bears' preseason opener against the Dolphins, ultimately being placed on injured reserve Aug. 13. The safety will now be eligible to pass a physical and play elsewhere in 2025.

Reverts to IR

Burns (knee) reverted to Chicago's injured reserve list WEdnesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Burns went unclaimed off waivers after being let go with an injury designation. As such, the 23-year-old safety has been moved to injured reserve, which means he will be required to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Bears.
