Burks (chest) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks is working back from a partially torn pectoral and was a limited practice participant this week, and he'll have a chance to make his season debut Sunday. The 24-year-old is still lined up to work as a starter when healthy, though he'll be sporting a protective harness for his left pectoral/shoulder. Burks has yet to log a full practice, so the team may remain cautious if he does return this week.

Burks (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks was spotted wearing a protective harness over his injured pectoral and left shoulder earlier in the week, but he has since ditched his non-contact jersey. Although the second-year pro isn't cleared for full practices yet, he looks to have a shot to play in this Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. First, he'll need to get a full practice or two under his belt.

Burks practiced Monday with a protective harness covering his injured pectoral and left shoulder, but he wasn't wearing a non-contact jersey, Jim Owczarski and Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report.
EDGE Analysis
Burks suffered a partially torn pectoral in the Packers' preseason opener on Aug. 8. He didn't make his first tangible progress on Packers injury reports until Sept. 18, showing up on that day's estimate as a limited participant. However, on all official reports in the meantime, Burks received a DNP. The Packers won't reveal his activity level this week until Wednesday, but he appears to be closing in on getting cleared for game action.

Burks (pectoral) is participating in practice Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week, so even if he's limited Monday it'll be a step in the right direction. The second-year pro is vying to make his season debut Week 5 versus the Cowboys. Burks is set for a starting role in Green Bay's linebacker corps when he returns to the lineup.

Burks (chest) was ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Eagles, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks was listed as DNP for every practice this week, so it doesn't look like he's making progress. The second-year pro will have additional rest following Thursday's game, as he eyes a return for Week 5's contest versus the Cowboys. For the time being, B.J. Goodson and Ty Summers will rotate in alongside inside linebacker Blake Martinez.

Burks (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice estimation, but then he wasn't able to practice Thursday or Friday. The 24-year-old has yet to see the field since sustaining the injury Aug. 9. While Burks rests Sunday, B.J. Goodson and Ty Summers should continue to share his reps at inside linebacker.

Burks (pectoral) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Burks was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice estimate, but he hasn't actually participated in practice over the last two weeks. It doesn't appear as though he's trending towards suiting up Sunday versus the Broncos.

Burks (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Packers didn't hold a practice, they revealed Burks would've participated if they did. Take this with a grain of salt, as Burks hasn't practiced at all over the last two weeks. Burks will need to actually practice before he has a chance to play in a game, but it appears he has a shot to play Sunday versus the Broncos.

Burks (chest) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks will miss his second straight game to start the year. He didn't practice all week, so his chances of playing Week 3 versus the Broncos as well rely on getting on the field in some capacity first. For the time being, Ty Summers and B.J. Goodson will work in at inside linebacker.

Burks (chest) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Burks sat out Green Bay's season-opening win over the Bears and has yet to resume practicing. The second-year pro is trending towards remaining sidelined Week 2 versus the Vikings, which would pave the way for Ty Summers and B.J. Goodson to split snaps at middle linebacker for a second straight week.
