NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that wide receiver Treylon Burks , who's been on injured reserve since mid-October with an injured knee, recently had surgery to fix a partially torn ACL. “It was a loose ACL that wasn’t fully torn, and so they had to go see a specialist, so some weeks went by after he went on IR and he eventually had to have ACL surgery,” Callahan said. “The surgery was a couple of weeks back, and the time from when he went to IR until he had the surgery was also a couple of weeks.” Burks was hurt in practice the week after the Titans lost to Indianapolis on Oct. 13 and placed on injured reserve on Oct. 19. The 2022 first-round pick is no stranger to injuries. He suffered concussions in both 2022 against Philadelphia and last year against Pittsburgh. Burks missed six games in each of his first two seasons with the Titans and played in just five games this season before being placed on injured reserve. He finished 2024 with four receptions for 34 yards. For his three NFL seasons, Burks has 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown catch. The Titans (3-9) host Jacksonville (2-10) on Sunday. The Titans opened the three-week practice window for offensive tackle Jaelyn Duncan to return from injured reserve. Duncan has started two games, the second against Buffalo on Oct. 20 at right tackle and lasted four snaps before hurting his hamstring. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 26.

Via The Rare Earths MMI ( ) trended sideways with a slightly downward movement of 2.59%. Numerous factors remain at play within the global rare earths market. One of the most significant factors rare earths buyers need to remain aware of is the ongoing conflict within Myanmar, one of the world’s key rare earth suppliers, regarding rebel mine takeovers. The Kachin Independence Army (KIA) caused numerous problems throughout November, including seizing control of Kanpaiti, a pinnacle rare earths trading point within Myanmar’s Kachin state. For the moment, the rare earths market remains sideways. That said, if these rebel groups continue to seize control of this vital upstream sourcing point, the global market may face price increases and volatility. Despite this, China’s overabundance of rare earth elements continues to place bearish pressure on the market. However, this could change if the Trump administration places tariffs on Chinese imports in the coming years. In November 2024, Myanmar’s rare earth mining sector experienced significant disruptions due to intensified conflicts involving the Kachin Independence Army. The KIA’s attacks led to the capture of key mining hubs, notably the town of Kanpaiti near the Chinese border, a pivotal center for rare earth mineral extraction. This development has profound implications for global supply chains. The KIA’s capture of Kanpaiti represents a critical blow to Myanmar’s military regime, reducing its control over border towns to a single location. This loss not only diminishes the military’s territorial control over mines in the region, but also cuts off significant revenue streams from rare earth minerals previously . Myanmar is a crucial supplier of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) to China, accounting for approximately 50% of the country’s feedstock. The KIA’s takeover of mining areas, including the largest rare earth mine at Pang War, has forced the suspension of all mining activities. Myanmar’s rare earth production disruption could drive global prices higher. For example, dysprosium oxide prices already jumped to 2,610 yuan ($356) per kilogram, their highest level since China’s halt on rare earth imports from Myanmar has also intensified pressure on global supply chains, raising concerns about the availability of these . The expansion of rare earth mining in Myanmar has sparked environmental and social concerns for quite some time. Reports suggest that mining operations, predominantly controlled by armed Chinese groups, have caused significant ecological damage while negatively impacting . The KIA’s control over key mining regions adds additional uncertainty to the global rare earth supply chain. Although the KIA has not disclosed its intentions for these mining operations, the disruption will likely continue to affect global supply and drive up prices. Therefore, industries reliant on rare earth materials may need to explore alternative sources or invest in recycling technologies to reduce the impact. The KIA’s takeover of Myanmar’s rare earth mining regions has far-reaching consequences for global supply chains, the environment and local communities. Tackling these challenges will require coordinated international efforts by the rare earths industry to promote responsible sourcing and sustainable practices. By Jennifer Kary
