Tennessee Titans' first-round pick Treylon Burks dealing with asthma

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The mystery surrounding the setback that Tennessee Titans' first-round pick Treylon Burks has been dealing with since rookie minicamp gained some clarity Tuesday.

"It's unfortunate," Titans wide receiver coach Rob Moore said before the team took the field for OTAs. "Some of the things he's dealing with are out of his control. The kid has asthma."

Burks was unable to make it through his first practice of rookie minicamp. He was spotted using an inhaler and had ice on his neck to cool him off before returning to practice briefly.
