New York Giants star edge rusher Brian Burns is dealing with an injury in the second half of the Week 7 game against the Denver Broncos. Follow our tracker for all of the latest updates on Burns' status.
Four members of the Giants did not practice Wednesday, including EDGE rusher Brian Burns. Yet, according to coach Brian Daboll, Burns' foot injury, which put him in a walking boot, is not considered long term.
As the Giants gear up to face the Eagles for the second time this month, there is still some uncertainty as to whether or not they'll have one of their top defenders.
Burns was originally 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.
As he generally does, Daboll updated the status of several injured players, including center John Michael Schmitz, who is "making very good progress" in concussion protocol. Meanwhile, defensive lineman D.J. Davidson was added to the injury.
