Giants linebacker Brian Burns active for Sunday's game against Titans

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns managed to avoid missing upcoming action despite missing every practice session during the week. The defender dealt with an ankle sprain picked up near the conclusion of their Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Rams.

Through the initial pair of games this year, the pass rush for the squad has produced merely one sack and five quarterback hits, highlighting a quiet opening phase following his Pro Bowl campaign featuring 16.5 sacks.

Heading into Sunday's matchup with the Tennessee Titans, the availability of the veteran defender provides a much-needed lift for the defensive unit. Weather forecasts indicate inclement conditions featuring wind and rain as he attempts to pressure opposing quarterback Cam Ward.

New York hopes the presence of the edge rusher can spark a struggling pass-rushing attack that has struggled to make an impact during the early portion of the schedule.
