Impact According to John Williams of USA Today, Burks has participated in the Sooners' fall camp, indicating his June charge is no longer a problem.

He broke out that year with career bests in receptions (47), yards (629), yards per reception (13.4) and touchdowns (seven).

Logs another TD in loss Burks caught three of eight targets for 22 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-7 defeat against Ohio State.
