Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks appeared to suffer a scary injury at the end of Thursday night's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On a fourth down in the final minutes of the game, Burks ran down the left sidelines trying to haul in a deep shot from quarterback Will Levis to sustain the drive. Burks leaped and caught the pass in the air but landed hard on his backside and slammed his head on the turf, losing control of the ball.

The fall didn't appear that severe, but Burks immediately crumpled to the side with his head down and his body still.

After a few minutes, Burks was helped onto the cart, and viewers were relieved to see Burks give a thumbs-up while leaving the field.

Burks reportedly has full movement in all his extremities and is being treated at a local hospital.
