Burks was tagged as questionable for Week 9 due to a groin injury, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The 2018 third-rounder has accumulated 23 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble across eight regular-season games while serving on both defense and special teams.
