Giants believe Brian Burns has torn ACL

New York pass rusher Brian Burns faces a potential season-ending setback after suffering a suspected torn ACL during Sunday's contest. According to insider Adam Schefter, the defensive cornerstone's campaign is likely finished following the severe knee issue.

This major blow hits the defensive unit hard, as the defender had maintained a streak of starting every contest since arriving via trade in 2024, coming off a campaign where he racked up a personal-best 16.5 sacks. Currently playing through the third season of a five-year pact worth $141 million secured in 2024, the star defender had nearly been sidelined for the weekend matchup due to a low ankle sprain sustained the prior week before ultimately taking the field for what proved to be his final appearance of the year.
