Burks was seen walking out of the locker room on his own power, according to ESPN.
Burks hit his head on the ground late in the fourth quarter after attempting to make a deep catch along the sideline and lay motionless on the ground.
Burks’ facemask was cut off before he was placed on a backboard. He gave a soft thumbs-up while he was being taken off the field.
"It’s a scary part of the game, the fact that someone gets carted off the field and you just act like it didn’t happen," Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis said. "But that’s football. It’s a part of the game that we have to accept it."

Burks is in his second season out of the University of Arkansas. The Titans selected him with the 18th pick last year, seemingly as a replacement for A.J. Brown, whom they traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.
In five games this season, Burks has eight catches for 122 yards.
Tennessee lost 20-16 to Pittsburgh, handing Levis his first NFL loss as a starter as the Titans dropped to 3-5 on the season.
"Losing sucks, especially at this level," Levis said. "It’s so hard to win games and you have an opportunity like that to win it at the end, and it doesn’t happen, it makes you feel a whole lot worse. Credit to (Pittsburgh). They made the plays when they needed to and we didn’t."
