Burns limps off in obvious pain

Giants pass rusher Brian Burns left the field Monday night visibly hurt after suffering an ankle injury during the game.

Medical staff diagnoses low ankle sprain

After the game, Giants medical staff examined Burns and determined he has a low ankle sprain that shouldn't cause extended time away.

“"It eases my mind to know it's not nothing serious," Burns said.”

Burns has dealt with this before

The defensive star said he's experienced similar injuries and knows the rehab process, confident he can return quickly.

“"I've dealt with this before. It all depends on how fast you can get the swelling and inflammation down."”

Recovery starts immediately on flight

Burns began treatment during the flight from Los Angeles back to New York, using ice and compression to manage swelling.

“"The recovery process starts now, so it will be ice and compression until we get back to the facility."”

Giants dodge major injury bullet

Burns' relatively minor diagnosis was a relief for New York, which also lost quarterback Jaxson Dart, receiver Malik Nabers, and left tackle Andrew Thomas Monday.
