Burks was waived by the Jets on Wednesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks joined the Jets practice squad midway through the 2016 season and was promoted the active roster for the team's season finale, recording two carries for a loss of four yards. He was unlikely to see much time in 2017 and his release doesn't alter the depth chart much. Burks will be a free agent if he clears waviers.

Burks (illness) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Burks sat out Wednesday's practice, but was back on the field Thursday. In the process, he was the only running back out there for the Jets, with Matt Forte, Bilal Powell and Brandon Wilds all sitting out the session.

Burks was promoted to the Jets active roster Wednesday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Khiry Robinson (leg) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, opening up a spot for Burks on the depth chart. The undrafted free agent spent time on the practice squad of both the Packers and Jets this season. Look for him to serve as an emergency back for Sunday's season-finale against the Bills.

Burks was waived by the Packers on Sunday, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks survived Saturday's final cuts to snag a spot on the Packers' 53-man roster, but the writing was on the wall when the team claimed Jhurell Pressley off waivers Sunday, and Burks was ultimately released. The Packers may look to add him to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Burks ran for a 19-yard touchdown after John Crockett (shoulder) left Friday's preseason game against the 49ers, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crockett's injury may have created an opening for Burks, an undrafted rookie who previously seemed like a better candidate for the practice squad than the active roster. Burks has easily outplayed fellow undrafted rookie Brandon Ross, gaining 89 yards on 19 carries in three preseason games. If Crockett isn't available for the start of the season, Burks could stick on the roster as the No. 3 running back.
