Brian Burns News

Brian Burns Remains Limited On Thursday

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (illness) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This marks back-to-back days that Burns has been limited in practice due to a lingering illness. Burns hasn't missed a game this season, so this illness is unlikely to keep him out of the regular season finale. Burns has been a force on defense with 66 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and eight sacks. This absence would certainly be a hit to this defensive unit ahead of their Week 18 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brian Burns Suiting Up Against Falcons

New York Giants edge rusher Brian Burns (ankle, neck) is officially active for Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons. It seemed unlikely that Burns would suit up after missing two practices, but he was able to improve his status by logging a limited practice session on Friday. The star defender entered this weekend listed as questionable, and in the end, he'll be able to suit up against Atlanta. Burns has appeared in all 14 games so far this year, making an impact with his 58 tackles, eight sacks, and two forced fumbles. His presence will be key as the Giants look to irritate Michael Penix Jr. in his first career NFL start.

Brian Burns Expected To Play Vs. Atlanta

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns (ankle, neck) will not practice Thursday for the second straight day. However, per head coach Brian Daboll, he will play this Sunday when his team squares off against the Atlanta Falcons in a road tilt. ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported the news. The star pass-rusher sustained his ailments in Week 15's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Fortunately, though, it appears he's on track to suit up in Week 16 with a few days of rest under his belt. The 26-year-old currently leads his team with 13 tackles for loss and eight pass breakups, ranking second in sacks (eight). Burns has yet to miss a game thus far in 2024, leading all Giants' edge-rushers in snaps.

Brian Burns Missing From Wednesday's Practice

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns (ankle) and inside linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) were not spotted in the portion of practice on Wednesday that was open to the media. Burn said his ankle got rolled up on "pretty bad" in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but head coach Brian Daboll said Branch is "day-to-day." The 26-year-old's status is in question heading into a Week 16 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons, but he still has several days to get back on the practice field. The Giants would love to have one of their best defenders on the field for Falcons rookie first-round quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s first NFL start this Sunday. Burns, a two-time Pro Bowler, heads into Week 16 action with 58 tackles (34 solo), eight sacks, 13 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, eight pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 14 starts in his first year in the Big Apple.

Brian Burns Off The Injury Report

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (groin) is off the injury report and is expected to play on Monday evening against the Pittsburgh Steelers according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Burns opened the week as a limited participant in practice but was then downgraded to a non-participant on Friday. However, he was able to return in a limited capacity on Saturday. Burns has tallied at least one sack in each of the past three games and tallied 27 tackles (18 solo) through his first seven games in the Big Apple. In addition, the former Panther had registered one forced fumble with six pass deflections this season. With Burns set to play, the Giants defense is worth a look as a deep-league streaming option facing the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns Active Against Eagles

New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (hip) and linebacker Brian Burns (groin) are both active for the Week 7 divisional contest on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Lawrence and Burns were both listed as questionable coming into Sunday's contest. Meanwhile, cornerback Adoree' Jackson (neck) is out, while safety Dane Belton (illness) is active. With Lawrence officially active, he's in play in IDP fantasy leagues as a starting defensive lineman. The two-time Pro Bowler already has seven sacks in six games in 2024 and is well on his way to setting a new career-high in the category. Burns, who is eligible as a D-lineman and linebacker in many leagues, is also worth a start as a defensive lineman in IDP leagues now that he's officially active. Burns has three sacks and 23 combined tackles so far this year for the Giants defense.

Brian Burns Playing Against The Browns

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (groin) is officially active on Sunday for the Week 3 game on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Burns was a late addition to this week's injury report with a groin injury and was listed as questionable to play this weekend. However, it appears he was able to do enough during pre-game warmups to convince the coaching staff that he's good enough to play against Cleveland as the G-Men look for their first victory of 2024. The 26-year-old is New York's starting outside linebacker and should be in all starting lineups in IDP leagues now that he's officially active. The former 16th overall pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2019 out of Florida State has seven tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup so far through two weeks in his first year in the Big Apple.

Brian Burns Expected To Play In Week 3

New York Giants defensive end Brian Burns (groin) is expected to play in Week 3 versus the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable after the Giants added him to their injury report late in the week. Nevertheless, he's going to suit up against the Deshaun Watson-led Browns on Sunday. Burns has seven tackles through two games but is still looking for his first sack as a member of the Giants.

Brian Burns Questionable Against The Browns

The New York Giants added outside linebacker Brian Burns (groin) to the injury report on Friday with a groin issue, and he's officially questionable to play this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Late-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so the G-Men could be without Burns this weekend. The Giants acquired the 26-year-old this offseason in a trade with the Carolina Panthers. Burns has gotten off to a slow start in the Big Apple, totaling seven tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup in his first two games. If the Giants end up ruling Burns out on Sunday, Benton Whitley figures to see more defensive snaps on the edge as a pass-rusher to help out Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari in a good matchup against the Browns. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues need to have a backup option for Burns just in case.

Brian Burns Seen As Game-Changer For Big Blue

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns has been described as a "game-changer" by his teammates, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com. Fellow linebacker Bobby Okereke expressed that his new teammate is a game-changer and a prolific player. Burns was traded from the Carolina Panthers to the Big Apple in exchange for draft picks. Burns was then immediately given a five-year, $150 million contract, with $87.5 million guaranteed. The 26-year-old has made two Pro Bowls in his five-year career and has tallied 46 total sacks. He will join a strong Giants pass-rush core that includes Dexter Lawrence, Keyvon Thibodeaux, and Jordan Phillips. The Florida State product could be an intriguing pick in IDP leagues, as he should finish near double digits in sacks by the end of the season.
