It was 86 degrees in Saint Thomas Sports Park as the Titans took the field for the first day of their rookie minicamp. Rookie receiver Treylon Burks did not get through.

Burks worked in team exercises, according to several reports, with difficulty breathing before entering. He later returned, running a few routes and working with receiver receiver Rob Moore on his releases and head fakes before re-entering. Burks did not return a second time.

“I think it’s hard to think they can recreate, with a coach, how we do things, and we see that with guys who have come back and started with our offseason program, and guys who have come to a few weeks in. It’s just different, ”coach Mike Vrabel said via video from Paul Kuharsky from paulkuharsky. com. “I know they work and they think they’re trying to get in shape, but that’s just not the case. It’s something we have to focus on and try to make sure we get some work in, but with all of them we try to be as smart as we possibly can. ”

Vrabel was exposed to coach Todd Toriscelli due to Burks’ condition.

“If he’s out there tomorrow, we’ll train him up,” Vrabel said.
