Burns recorded two total tackles in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions. Burns finished with his least impressive statline of the campaign, failing to secure a solo tackle for the first time this season while his two stops marked a new low for the linebacker this year. Burns has been exceptional in his second season in New York, compiling 13.0 sacks, which is second only to Myles Garrett (18.0) through 12 weeks, and he'll look to get back on track against New England in Week 13.

Burns finished Sunday's Week 11 loss to Green Bay with five tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a defensed pass. Burns recorded both of New York's sacks in the contest, taking down Jordan Love just before halftime and again just before the end of the game. The veteran pass rusher is having a career-best season, tallying 13.0 sacks through 11 contests. Burns' sack total has exceeded his previous career-best regular-season mark (which had been 12.5), and he ranks second in the NFL in the category behind Myles Garrett (15.0).

Burns tallied five tackles (four solo) during the Giants' loss versus the Bears on Sunday. Burns had a solid outing in the loss, but this was just the second game this season in which he failed to record a sack. The 2019 first-round pick is now just 1.5 sacks shy of his career-high total set in 2022, and he will look to keep producing in the Week 11 matchup versus Green Bay.

Burns (hip) did not practice Wednesday but he is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Burns originally was reported to have suffered a foot injury and was spotted in a walking boot after Sunday's game against Denver. However, his injury was modified to a foot issue in Wednesday's practice report. Despite not practicing, Burns also told Barnes that he will be able to suit up for the Giants' Week 8 matchup against the Eagles.

Burns was seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot in the locker room after Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports. The pass rusher finished the game with four tackles, including 2.0 sacks and an additional tackle for a loss. Burns has played on most of the defensive snaps for New York this season, and he now has 9.0 sacks in seven games. The Giants are deep on the edge, with Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux in addition to Burns, but the loss of the veteran would nonetheless impact the defense.
