Burse (concussion) didn't receive a qualifying offer or minimum tender from the Chargers and has become an unrestricted free agent, per the league's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Burse spent the entire 2017 season on injured reserve due to a preseason concussion and will finish his two-tenure with the Chargers without a single reception to his name despite seeing four targets during the 2016 campaign. However, he was an effective return man on special teams at times and should be able to latch on with a team for training camp this offseason, assuming he's symptom-free and willing to continue his playing career in the aftermath of his season-erasing concussion. There've been no updates on his health since he was first placed on IR.

Burse (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Burse's head injury seems like it could be more serious than we originally thought. He'll need to make a full recovery before returning to action.

Burse (concussion) was waived/injured by the Chargers on Saturday, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burse suffered a concussion in the preseason finale and will likely revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers.

Burse (concussion) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers, Dan Woike of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a tough blow for Burse, who is fighting for a roster spot as the team's sixth wide receiver and likely returner. He'll have to hope Kenjon Barner struggles in his duties as a return man in order to have a shot at sticking with the Chargers to start the season.

Burse (shoulder) will not return to Saturday's game against the Rams, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burse, who injured his shoulder on the opening kickoff, will not return to Saturday's game. He has been playing with a torn labrum in his shoulder, so it's possible that Saturday's injury could be a re-aggravation of that.

Burse (shoulder) was injured during Saturday's game against the Rams, Eric Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burse has been playing with a torn labrum in his shoulder, and it is yet to be seen if this is a re-aggravation of the same injury. He has yet to record a reception in the NFL, yet he's had a solid preseason and was looking to steal one of the final receiver spots for the Chargers.

Burse caught two of his four targets for 14 yards in the preseason loss to the Seahawks
EDGE Analysis
While Burse is expected to play with a torn shoulder labrum, he's been one of the standout players throughout the beginning stages of training camp. While the second-year player isn't expected to be much of a fantasy asset this season with no less than five receivers ahead of him on the depth chart, Burse could catch onto the roster as return man.

Burse has participated in training camp with a torn labrum, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burse finished last season as the return man for the Chargers, but now he's starting to impress as a viable receiver. As long as he can keep this injury under control, he should see an increase in offensive snaps, as well as maintain his returner role.

Burse signed his exclusive-rights contract tender with the Chargers on Monday, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burse was on and off the Chargers' practice squad last season, and when he did see game action, it was usually on special teams as the team's primary return man. Look for him to carry on in a similar role in 2017.

Burse did not record a catch with the Chargers in 2016.
EDGE Analysis
Burse was an active member of the Chargers roster for the majority of the season, factoring in on special teams as both a returner and gunner. But the 25-year-old rarely saw time on offense, recording three of his four targets on the season in Week 17. A restricted free agent, Burse is a candidate to return to the team in 2017.
