Burley (knee) won't play in Sunday's contest against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Burley was questionable entering Sunday's contest but appears to not quite be over the knee injury he suffered last week. Johnthan Banks and Treston Decoud will be the Texans' only backup cornerbacks with Burley and Kevin Johnson (knee) sidelined.

Burley left practice early with an apparent eye injury during Wednesday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the severity of his injury is still unknown at this juncture, Burley was seen being helped off the field by athletic trainers, with one holding a towel over the defensive back's left eye. The 27 year old figures to add depth behind Jason McCourty and Jamar Taylor this season in a backup role he grew familiar with in 2016.

Burley re-signed with the Browns on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Burley played 12 games with Cleveland last season, totaling just eight tackles and one pass defensed. He'll figure to be a backup once again in 2017, though he could see a slightly increased role on the defense.

Burley (hamstring) was removed from the Browns' final Week 9 injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Burley missed last week's game against the Jets due to his hamstring injury but after practicing in full on Friday the team cleared him for return prior to Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He's likely the team's last option at corner and shouldn't be expected to see a large role on defense.
