Tops 100 yards from scrimmage Burgess totaled 12 rushes for 65 yards and gathered in 3 of 4 targets for 49 yards during Tuesday's 23-17 defeat against Louisiana.

Impact Ismail Mahdi didn't see another carry after fumbling in the third quarter, resulting in an expanded workload for Burgess. Burgess made the most of his opportunities, averaging 7.3 yards per touch. Burgess would be worthy of fantasy consideration if Mahdi remains in the doghouse.

Part of RB timeshare Burgess posted 12 carries for 85 yards and hauled in their only target for 17 yards during Thursday's 38-17 win versus Troy.

Impact Burgess hadn't logged a carry in three of Texas State's first four games but notched the same amount of rushes as Ismail Mahdi on Thursday.

Out against Liberty Burgess (concussion) is out for UTEP's game Saturday against Liberty, Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.

Impact Burgess will have sat out UTEP's last game of the 2023 regular season.

Burgess finished the regular season with 847 all-purpose yards (620 rushing and 227 receiving) and two touchdowns across 11 games.

In concussion protocol Burgess is in concussion protocol, Bret Bloomquist of the El Paso Times reports.

Impact Burgess was injured making a tackle on a fake punt. The result was him going into concussion protocol, now with just one game of action left in UTEP's 2023 season. Currently, the Miners are scheduled to finish their 2023 campaign next Saturday against Liberty, which may not be enough time for his head to heal.

Rushes for 86 yards Burgess ran 15 times for 86 yards Saturday versus WKU.

Impact Burgess and Deion Hankins got essentially the same number of rushing attempts, and while Burgess was better in this one, Hankins has largely been better on the season. Both get their touches, though, and with the struggles in the passing game the Miners have, that should likely continue to be the case.

Contributes in passing game Burgess ran eight times for 25 yards and had four catches for 62 yards against NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact Burgess has three games with at least three catches and 30 yards, so he can contribute through the air. Deion Hankins has been getting more carries recently, but Burgess is still getting double-digit touches every game, because the passing offense is highly limited.
