Despite that, Giants\u2019 head coach John Harbaugh said after the game that there was \u201csome hope\u201d regarding Burns\u2019 injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That hope, it appears, was in vain as Burns\u2019 season is over. This is the Giants\u2019 second season-ending knee injury to a star player in as many weeks, with quarterback Jaxson Dart suffering a knee injury against the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Burns was playing through an ankle sprain he suffered at the end of the Giants\u2019 loss to the Rams last week. It was a surprise that he even took the field against the Titans, given the sloppy, rainy conditions and the fact that Burns didn\u2019t practice at all during the week. Burns\u2019 presence on the field against Tennessee is a testament to his toughness, but that won\u2019t get him back on the field in 2026. Instead, he\u2019ll be relying on that toughness to push through his eventual rehab for a return in 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Giants will now rely on Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux as their starting edge defenders. The team came into the season with just three dedicated outside linebackers, though they can also use Chauncey Golston and rookie Arvell Reese in that role on occasion. The Giants also have Trace Ford, who had a promising preseason, on their practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Even so, this is a significant loss for a Giants\u2019 defense that has been very uneven through the first three games of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Giants star pass rusher Brian Burns suffered a torn right ACL on Sunday against the Tennessee&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,12183,8144,11,10],"class_list":["post-358757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-giants-injuries","tag-new-york-giants-news","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
