News

  • Undergoes surgery

    Burnett underwent surgery to address his torn Achilles on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Burnett sustained the injury during last Thursday's loss to the Browns and moved to injured reserve earlier Tuesday, and he'll now be able to begin the recovery process. Juston Burris is expected to fill in at strong safety for the Browns in his absence.

  • Shifts to IR

    Burnett (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Burnett suffered a torn Achilles during Week 11's win over the Steelers and is ruled out for the remainder of the season, so this move was expected. The veteran safety suited up in eight games with the Browns, recording 41 tackles, two sacks and an interception. Juston Burris is slated to fill in at strong safety opposite Damarious Randall. Burnett has one year remaining on his deal with Cleveland at a cap hit of $4.825 million.

  • Done for season

    Burnett will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Burnett sustained the injury late in the second quarter of Thursday's 21-7 win over the Steelers. To that point, Burnett was having his best game of the season with five tackles -- including one for a loss -- two passes defensed and an interception. Justin Burris helped fill the void Thursday, playing 42 snaps, his most since Week 3, while contributing five tackles, one sack, one interception and forcing a fumble.

  • Torn Achilles feared

    Burnett is believed to have sustained a torn Achilles during Thursday's 21-7 win over the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Burnett was forced out of Thursday's divisional tilt on a non-contact play just prior to halftime. He's scheduled for an MRI on Friday, which will reveal the full extent of his injury, but there's major cause for concern that the veteran may be sidelined for at least the remainder of the season. If Burnett is indeed forced to miss significant time, Juston Burris, Eric Murray (knee) and Sheldrick Redwine will be candidates to play expanded roles on defense going forward.

  • Out for game with Achilles injury

    Burnett has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Steelers due to an Achilles injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Burnett went down on a non-contact play just before halftime, which is cause for major concern. A torn Achilles would likely sideline the veteran for the remainder of the season, but look for more updates on the extent of the injury to come in the following days. Before exiting the contest, Burnett recorded five tackles, two passes defensed and an interception. Juston Burris and Sheldrick Redwine are likely to see increased reps for the remainder of Thursday's game.

  • Leaves with ankle injury

    Burnett exited Thursday's game against the Browns with an ankle injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The veteran safety was all over the field during the first half with five tackles and an interception before suffering the injury. Justin Burris figures to see increased snaps at safety as long as Burnett remains sidelined.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Burnett recorded eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Burnett and fellow safety Damarious Randall each played all 69 of the Browns' defensive snaps Sunday, and played a part in limiting the Bills to only 16 points. Up next for Cleveland is a matchup with the red-hot Steelers in Week 11.

  • Quiet in return

    Burnett had one tackle and played 26 of 76 snaps on defense in Monday's 31-3 loss to the 49ers in Week 5.

    Analysis: Burnett returned from a two-week absence to start the game after being listed as questionable leading up to game time. That he played fewer than 50 percent of the snaps suggests he's not all the way back yet. The strong safety has 13 tackles and two sacks through three games played.

  • Ready to rock

    Burnett (quadriceps) is active for Monday's tilt against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Burnett was initially designated as questionable for Monday's contest, but he's progressed well enough in his recovery to suit up. The veteran safety will retake the field after having missed two straight games.

  • Questionable for MNF

    Burnett (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the 49ers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Burnett was able to log a full practice Saturday, but he's still uncertain for the game. If he can't go, this will be the third straight game Burnett misses, and Jermaine Whitehead -- who made an interception and forced a fumble in Week 4 -- will start at strong safety in his place.

  • Won't play against Ravens

    Burnett (quadriceps) is inactive Week 4 against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Burnett is just one of the three starters in the Cleveland secondary that won't suit up Sunday, as he'll join Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) on the inactive list. Given all the injuries, the Week 4 matchup could prove to be a high-scoring affair.

  • Questionable for Week 4

    Burnett (quadriceps) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burnett wasn't able to practice at all this week, which doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up in Baltimore. With Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) also nursing injuries, the Browns' starting secondary could be fairly depleted as they work to contain the Ravens' aerial attack.

  • Can't shake injury

    Burnett (quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: At least Damarious Randall cleared concussion protocol, because the rest of the Browns' starting secondary -- Burnett, Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) -- missed the team's first practice of the week. Burnett's quick recovery will be ideal for deep pass protection considering Lamar Jackson ranks second in the league with 16 passes over 20 yards.

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Burnett (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Rams.

    Analysis: Burnett will miss his first game of the season. Fellow safety Damarious Randall (concussion) will sit out this contest as well, meaning Jermaine Whitehead and Eric Murray are set to start.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Burnett (quadriceps) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Burnett is managing a quadriceps injury suffered during Monday's win over the Jets. The veteran safety will likely draw his usual start in Cleveland's secondary if he's able to suit up, and Jermaine Whitehead will slot into the starting lineup if Brunett is unable to go.

  • Can't practice Wednesday

    Burnett (quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Burnett suffered this injury in Monday's game versus the Jets, so he's had a shortened amount of time to recover. The veteran safety has been a versatile member of the team so far with 12 tackles (six solo) and two sacks, but his status is in jeopardy for Sunday's game versus the Rams. This could become a major issue in the Browns' secondary since Damarious Randall (concussion) also missed Wednesday's practice, so Jermaine Whitehead and Eric Murray are preparing to start at safety if neither…read more

  • Suffers quad injury

    Burnett was removed from Monday's game with a quadriceps injury, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Burnett had a second straight productive game before leaving. He recorded six tackles and registered a sack for the second straight week.

  • Effective in Browns debut

    Burnett made six tackles -- two for a loss -- and a sack in Sunday's blowout loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Although the Browns' secondary was carved up for 248 yards and three touchdowns by Marcus Mariota, Burnett proved he's still a versatile safety with the ability to blitz the quarterback from the safety position. Burnett played all 61 defensive snaps in this outing alongside Damarious Randall, and he's expected to play the same role in Week 2's Monday night game versus the Jets.

  • Heading to Cleveland

    Burnett will sign a contract with the Browns on Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Burnett was granted his release from the Steelers on Monday after a disappointing 2018 in which he totaled only 30 tackles in 11 games. The 30-year-old should compete for the starting role at strong safety with new addition Eric Murray, as 2018 starter Jabrill Peppers was sent to the Giants in the trade for Odell Beckham (quadriceps) in March.

  • Release made official

    The Steelers have released Burnett.

    Analysis: Burnett fell off the IDP radar last season, logging just 30 total tackles in 11 games in his first and only season with the Steelers. Whether the 30-year-old resurfaces on the fantasy radar in 2019 depends on where he ends up, but it seems unlikely he'll approach the statistical heights he reached during his peak years as a Packer.

  • Soon to be released

    The Steelers informed Burnett he will be released before Apr. 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Pittsburgh planned to release the 30-year-old safety this past Wednesday but will wait another week because of an accounting issue. Regardless of when it happens, Burnett figures to have trouble finding a starting job on the open market, as he hasn't played a 16-game season since 2012 and struggled in coverage the past couple years. It wasn't so long ago that Burnett was the top tackle compiler among all defensive backs, averaging 7.6 per game in 60 appearances from 2011 to 2014.

  • Asks out of Pittsburgh

    Burnett reportedly would like to be released by the Steelers to pursue a more traditional safety role elsewhere, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Burnett had 30 tackles in 11 games during his first season with the Steelers, and was overtaken for snaps at strong safety by rookie Terrell Edmunds. The veteran then served in a hybrid safety/linebacker role, but apparently wants to play the more traditional position. Burnett carries about a $6.5 million cap hit for next season, and could be released with approximately $2.8 million in dead cap.

  • Disappointing season with new team

    Burnett had three tackles (all solo) during Sunday's 16-13 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: After eight years with Green Bay in which he averaged more than 87 tackles per season, Burnett struggled in his first season with Pittsburgh, finishing the 2018 season with 30 tackles in 11 games. Outplayed by rookie Terrell Edmunds, Burnett still has two years remaining on his current contract and will likely return in 2019 to provide depth in the Pittsburgh secondary.

  • Ready for Week 14

    Burnett (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Burnett was listed as questionable despite three full practices this week, and will make his return after sitting out Week 13 against the Chargers. The 29-year-old should assume his rotational role at strong safety behind rookie Terrell Edmunds.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Burnett (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burnett sat out the Steelers' Week 13 loss to the Chargers due to a back injury, but he has now logged three straight full practices. If the veteran safety is able to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday, he'll play his usual rotational role.

  • Practices fully Wednesday

    Burnett (back) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Burnett sat out Sunday's loss to the Chargers after not practicing during the week. His advancement to full participation after the week off well puts him on track to return Week 14 against the Raiders, with a reserve role at safety likely awaiting him.

  • Sitting Week 13

    Burnett (back) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Burnett was listed as doubtful after not practicing this week, so his inactive status Sunday was to be expected. The veteran safety has played limited snaps in recent weeks, and rookie Terrell Edmunds will continue to start at strong safety.

  • Listed as doubtful

    Burnett (back) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Burnett did not practice in any extent this week, and he appears on track to sit out Sunday's primetime tilt against the Chargers. If Burnett is indeed unable to suit up Week 13, expect Jordan Dangerfield, Mike Hilton and Artie Burns to benefit from slightly increased workloads.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • No practice Wednesday

    Burnett (back) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Burnett is nursing a back injury of undisclosed severity, which he appears to have picked up during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos. The veteran safety saw his lowest snap count of the season (18) during the Week 12 lost, possibly due to the nagging back issue. If he's unable to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday, expect Jordan Dangerfield, Mike Hilton and Artie Burns to see slightly increased defensive roles.

  • Five tackles in blowout win

    Burnett had five tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 52-21 win over Carolina.

    Analysis: A nagging groin injury that forced him to miss several games earlier this season seems to be fully recovered, and he now has 10 tackles in his past two games. Heading into a Week 11 game against Jacksonville, Burnett has no passes defended and no interceptions, seriously limiting his fantasy value.
