Burgess was waived by the 49ers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Burgess was signed by the 49ers on June 2 and will likely land on San Francisco's practice squad if he clears waivers. The 27-year-old appeared in four games, mainly as a special teams player, for the Packers last season.

The 49ers are signing Burgess (hamstring) to a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burgess only appeared in four games with the Packers last season before going down due to a hamstring injury, but it appeared that he was nearing a return before the team's loss in the NFC Championship Game. The 27-year-old will now compete for a depth role in San Francisco's linebacker corps.

The Packers designated Burgess (hamstring) for return from IR on Wednesday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green Bay will now have a 21-day window to evaluate Burgess at practice. The 26-year-old appeared in four contests during the regular season, during which span he worked exclusively on special teams.

Burgess was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Burgess apparently picked up the injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts while playing special teams. The 26-year-old will be sidelined for at least the next three games, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to return at that point.

The Packers signed Burgess to the active roster Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burgess was on the Falcons' practice squad, and he'll get a fresh start in Green Bay. The 26-year-old linebacker posted 80 tackles, five pass breakups and an interception over 10 games with the Jets last season, so he could be dependable inside linebacker depth until Christian Kirksey (pectoral) returns.

The Jets released Burgess (lower back) on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burgess started at linebacker in 2019 and averaged 67.2 defensive snaps per game, but he struggled with a knee injury that kept him out of six games. It's a bit surprising that he's being let go since Patrick Onwuasor (knee) is expected to miss the first month of the season while C.J. Mosley opted out. Neville Hewitt and Blake Cashman are expected to be the Jets' starting inside linebackers while Avery Williamson rotates in.

Burgess suffered a lower-back injury in practice Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how serious the issue is and if it will cost Burgess significant time, but coach Adam Gase said it was a non-contact injury. When healthy, the 26-year-old is expected to compete with Neville Hewitt for a starting gig during training, in the wake of C.J. Mosley having opted out of the season.

The Jets activated Burgess from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burgess spent just over a week on the reserve list, but he'll now be eligible to return to team facilities and practice. The 26-year-old looks primed to spend training camp competing with Neville Hewitt for a starting gig, in the wake of C.J. Mosley having opted out of the season.

The Jets placed Burgess (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

In terms of production, Burgess filled in ably for C.J. Mosley last year, compiling 80 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a half sack in 10 appearances. With Mosley opting out of this season, Burgess is expected to compete with Neville Hewitt for the starting spot next to Avery Williamson (knee). However, Burgess' pursuit for playing time will be delayed until he works his way through either a positive COVID test and the fact he had recent contact with someone who did.

The Jets and Burgess agreed to a one-year contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Signed in the wake of C.J. Mosley's final appearance for the Jets last season, Burgess started the final 10 games, finishing with 80 tackles (51 solo), one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a half sack. Mosley's recovery from a groin injury has extended into the offseason, so Burgess has been brought back after proving his worth to defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
