Eagles' Oren Burks: Finally back at practice
Burks (knee) participated at practice Saturday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Burks was out for most of training camp as he dealt with a knee injury, but it now looks like he's close to being back in playing shape as the regular season approaches. Barring injuries, he figures to play only a minor role in Philadelphia's defense in 2024.

Eagles' Oren Burks: Misses another practice
Burks (knee) missed his third straight practice Monday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Burks inked a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Eagles earlier in the offseason, and he now appears to be dealing with a knee injury. The Vanderbilt product appeared in 15 games (five starts) with the 49ers in 2023, recording 46 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, while also intercepting one pass. Once Burks returns to full health, he's expected to compete for a rotational role in the Eagles' linebacker corps.

Eagles' Oren Burks: Inks deal with Eagles
Burks signed a one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million with Philadelphia on Saturday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Burks saw the most defensive work of his career with San Francisco last season, tallying 308 defensive snaps and accumulating a career-best 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 15 regular-season games. He also continued to play on special teams, which had been his primary role in the NFL prior to last year. Burks will likely provide depth at linebacker for Philadelphia in the coming campaign while adding value as a core special-teamer.

49ers' Oren Burks: New career high in tackles
Burks finished with 46 tackles (29 solo), including one sack, and one interception in 15 games played with San Francisco in 2023.
Burks served as the 49ers' Sam linebacker in base formations for most of the regular season, setting a new career high in tackles while playing the most defensive snaps (308) of his career. The six-year pro was also asked to replace starter Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) after the latter suffered a torn Achilles early in Super Bowl LVIII. Burks' strong contributions as a role player could earn the linebacker a shot at starting alongside Fred Warner to begin the 2024 campaign while Greenlaw continues his lengthy recovery. That scenario would require the 49ers to re-sign Burks, whose two-year contract expires this offseason.
