Burns finished with two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in a 35-14 Week 15 loss to Baltimore on Sunday. Burns brought down Lamar Jackson for a 10-yard loss in the first quarter, though Jackson responded with a touchdown pass to Mark Andrews on the next play. The sack was Burns' second in as many contests and brought his total to 8.0 this season. With three games left in the season for New York, Burns has a shot of reaching double-digit sacks for the second time in his six-year career.

Burns posted four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a loss to New Orleans. Burns got to New Orleans QB Derek Carr (hand/head) late in the second quarter, sacking the signal-caller and forcing a fumble, though the ball was recovered by the Saints. The takedown brought Burns to 7.0 sacks through 13 games, leaving him one sack shy of the 8.0 he totaled over 16 regular-season games with the Panthers last year. Burns also has 56 total tackles in his first year with New York, and he's within reach of the career-best mark of 63 he established in 2022.

Burns recorded nine tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss against the Panthers. Burns' nine tackles against his former team was a season high for him, and his sack was his sixth in his last eight games. He's on pace for the second double-digit sack season of his career, and his next chance to build on his year-long total will come in Week 12 versus the Buccaneers.

Burns (groin/Achilles) didn't practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Burns appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Steelers, as he downgraded from limited work Thursday to a DNP on Friday. The first-year Giant will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation in Saturday's practice to have a chance at suiting up in Week 8.

Burns registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Giants' loss versus Philadelphia on Sunday. Burns was one of four New York defenders to bring down Jalen Hurts for a sack during Sunday's blowout loss. The 2019 first-round pick has now recorded a sack in three of his past four games.
