Burke registered six tackles (two solo) during the Cardinals' 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Burke played every single defensive snap for the first time this season and finished tied for the fifth-most tackles on the Cardinals during their overtime loss. He has started in each of the Cardinals' last three games, which has coincided with the absence of fellow rookie cornerback Will Johnson (back). Burke would likely revert to a reserve role against the Buccaneers this Sunday if Johnson was cleared to return.

Burke recorded two tackles (one solo) with one pass defensed in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis

Burke recorded five tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Cardinals' 44-22 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Burke recorded an interception for a second consecutive game, when he picked off a deep pass from Sam Darnold intended for Jaxon Smith-Njigba early in the third quarter, which led to a 15-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett to Trey McBride four plays later. Burke has started in each of the Cardinals' last two games, and he would likely start at outside corner against the 49ers this Sunday if one or both of Max Melton (concussion) or Will Johnson (back) were to be sidelined.

Burke recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Monday night's win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
With Max Melton sustaining a second-quarter concussion, Burke was forced into extensive playing time at cornerback, and the fifth-round rookie responded with a season-high seven tackles. If Melton is unable to play Week 10 against the Seahawks, Burke would be in line to see increased playing time against Seattle's new wideout quartet of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and playmaking rookie Tory Horton.

Burke (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burke appeared on Friday's injury report due to a knee injury, but it's not severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss Sunday's contest. He could step into a starting role at outside corner due to Max Melton (hamstring) being inactive.

Burke was a limited participant in Friday's practice due a knee injury, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury appears to be a new one, as Burke popped up on Friday's practice report due to a knee issue. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but the rookie fifth-rounder appears to be in jeopardy of missing his first game of the regular season. If Burke and fellow rookie Will Johnson (groin) are both unable to play, Max Melton and Elijah Jones would be in line to serve as the Cardinals' starting outside corners in Sunday's home clash.
