From the article

The rookie 7th round pick Deion Burks was another bright spot for the Colts, despite a quiet line of 4 receptions for 19 total receiving yards. He had a couple of nice catches in this one, and for a young wideout who could be on the roster bubble, made a stronger case to stick on the active 53-man roster. Helping Burks' cause is that he was the Colts primary kick returner in this one and fared pretty well.

Burks strengthens roster case with nice catches and strong kick return work despite modest receiving stats.

Rookie 7th round pick Deion Burks was a bright spot for the Colts despite a quiet line of 4 receptions for 19 total receiving yards. He had a couple of nice catches and made a stronger case to stick on the active 53-man roster. His special teams versatility—he was the Colts' primary kick returner in this game and fared pretty well—will definitely play for the bottom of Indy's active roster players.
