Burton suffered two concussions last season after being claimed off waivers from the Vikings and couldn't shake his second one, ending the year on I.R.

Coach Gus Bradley singled out Stephen Burton as someone he wants to step up with Justin Blackmon suspended for the year.

The Jags claimed Burton off waivers from the Vikings just before Week 1. He's missed the last five games due to a concussion, watching Mike Brown shine as the No. 3 wideout. Now that Brown is the No. 2 man, there's a job opening. "We've always been intrigued by [Burton]," Bradley said. "He's 6-1, 220 pounds and [runs a] 4.4. We've been really developing him to see what he can do." It's a name to stash on watch lists.

Jaguars WR Stephen Burton (concussion-like symptoms) did not practice Wednesday.

Burton, claimed off waivers from the Vikings ahead of Week 1, saw nine targets in last week's loss to the Seahawks. The Jaguars are very thin at receiver with Burton, Mike Brown (back), and Justin Blackmon (suspended) unavailable.

A castoff of the Vikings, Burton was claimed off waivers by the Jags just prior to Week 1. Now he's operating as the clear No. 2 receiver and racked up nine targets Sunday. Of course, the Jags passing game isn't capable of supporting more than one wideout, so only extreme deep leaguers should take a gander.

Jaguars claimed WR Stephen Burton off waivers from the Vikings.

One of Minnesota's toughest cuts, Burton had seven catches for 112 yards in the preseason and goes 6-foot-1, 224. In Jacksonville, Burton will compete for the No. 4 receiver job in addition to playing time on special teams.

Vikings waived WR Stephen Burton.

According to Vikings coach Leslie Frazier, WR Stephen Burton hasn't done "anything to separate himself from some of the other receivers."

Burton saw limited snaps in Friday's regular season tune-up. "When I look at the tape, we'll see how he did blocking and he did running around, but as a whole, we never gathered any rhythm offensively, so that also means he wasn't a big factor in what we were trying to do offensively." Burton clearly no longer has an outside shot at starting during Jerome Simpson's suspension, and is on the roster bubble.

Stephen Burton "appears to be the front-runner" for the Vikings' fifth receiver spot.

Fourth-rounder Jarius Wright is likely locked in, and Michael Jenkins' salary cut gives him a better chance to stick. Burton's primary competition could be former CFL star Emmanuel Arcenaux, who has improved more than any player WRs coach George Stewart has coached in 25 years. Kerry Taylor and Bryan Walters are also in the mix. Burton could end up starting for the suspended Jerome Simpson in Week 1 if he makes the team.

According to coach Leslie Frazier, WR Stephen Burton started in place of Percy Harvin in Friday's preseason opener because the Vikings "need to learn more about Stephen in game situations."

Burton was targeted just two times against the 49ers, but managed to take his lone catch 52 yards. He also had a drop, however. "He had limited exposure a year ago," Frazier said. "(And) then with the injury to Greg (Childs), we really felt like we needed to find out more about him." Beat writer Tom Pelissero believes Burton could see time at split end while Jerome Simpson is suspended for the season's first three games.
