Brian Burns injury details
After leaving Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans in the fourth quarter with a knee injury, star pass rusher Brian Burns suffered a torn ACL and will undergo surgery, Giants coach John Harbaugh announced on Monday.
Injury timeline
The 28-year-old suffered the injury with roughly 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter on a first-and-10 play where Titans quarterback Cam Ward completed a 1-yard pass to running back Tony Pollard.
Previous injury
Burns had been playing in this game despite already dealing with another injury. He hurt his ankle in last Monday's 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Impact on pass rush
The All-Pro pass rusher was entering the 2026 season after posting a career-high 16.5 sacks with New York last season. Through three games, Burns had four tackles, four pressures and two quarterback hits.
Team depth concerns
With him likely facing a season-ending injury, New York's pass rush depth will be tested. After Burns, the Giants have Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Arvell Reese as possible options to take on more of the pass-rushing load.
