Giants' Brian Burns: Estimated as non-participant Wednesday
Burns (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant for the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Burns is not expected to need surgery to address the low-ankle sprain he suffered during Monday's loss against the Rams, but it is anticipated that he will miss some time. Until he's able to get back onto the field, Kayvon Thibodeaux figures to see an uptick in reps on the edge.

Giants' Brian Burns: Suffers low-ankle sprain
Burns suffered a low-ankle sprain in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
The diagnosis of a low-ankle sprain is welcome news for the Giants' pass rush. Instead of missing roughly 4-to-6 weeks with a more serious injury, Burns could be back for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Titans. The linebacker will need further testing, but it appears the star pass rusher should return to the field sooner rather than later.

Giants' Brian Burns: Exits Monday's game
Burns (ankle) did not return to Monday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Burns exited the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. With the Giants down three scores when Burns exited, it's likely he would been held out the rest of the way even if he was cleared. The 28-year-old's left ankle appeared to be rolled up on by a Rams offensive lineman, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported.

Giants' Brian Burns: Back at practice after minor injury
Burns (undisclosed) participated during the Giants' training camp practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
It's not immediately clear what happened to Burns, but it's not preventing him from suiting up for practice at this point. He and 2025 first-rounder Abdul Carter project to play as many snaps as they both can handle on the edge in 2026.

Giants' Brian Burns: Eyes disruptive defense
Burns said the Giants' linebacker group will bring "organized chaos" for offenses to deal with, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Burns has reason to be excited about New York's defensive front heading into this season. The 28-year-old is fresh off a career-best 16.5-sack campaign posted in 2025, and in addition to returning pass rushers Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux, the Giants added added rookie first-rounder Arvell Reese and Tremaine Edmunds to the middle of the defense this offseason. New York's defensive front, led by Burns, could be fierce enough to make up for potential deficiencies in the secondary.
