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 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 recorded four tackles (one solo) and a pass deflection during the Giants' loss to Washington on Sunday. Burns had a solid outing despite the loss and has now logged at least four tackles in four straight games. The 2019 first-round pick will look to keep producing during the team's Week 10 matchup versus the Panthers.
The Giants announced Saturday that Burns (groin/Achilles) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's road game against the Steelers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Burns missed practice Friday and seemed initially to be trending in the wrong direction for Week 8, but New York may merely have been capping his practice reps. The standout defensive end has tallied one sack in each of his last three games, and he'll look to keep up his momentum versus Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh offense on Monday.
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 (groin/Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Burns has been playing through a groin injury for most of the regular season, so his presence on the Giants' first injury report of the week isn't surprising. However, it appears he may have tweaked his Achilles during the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, so his practice participation over the next two days is worth monitoring. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Burns has logged 27 tackles (18 solo), including 4.0 sacks, six pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Burns registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sack, 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 played.
Burns (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Despite opening the week with back-to-back DNPs, Burns earned a questionable tag after logging a limited practice session Friday. It was enough for him to be able to play Sunday, though he's unlikely to be at 100 percent health. Burns has had a strong start to his tenure with the Giants, having registered 23 tackles (15 solo), including 3.0 sacks, five pass breakups and one forced fumble through the first six games of the regular season.
Burns (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Burns upgraded to a limited session Friday after beginning the Giants' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, so it appears he's trending towards playing in Week 7. Nonetheless, if the first-year Giant can't suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup, expect Boogie Basham and Patrick Johnson to see additional reps with New York's first-team defense.
Burns (groin) did not practice Thursday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports. Burns has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a groin injury. The 2019 first-round pick said he expects to play Sunday against the Eagles, but that optimism could fade if he's unable to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday. Through the first six games of the regular season, Burns has registered 23 tackles (15 solo), including 3.0 sacks, five pass breakups and one forced fumble.
