Giants defensive end Brian Burns tore his ACL in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, ending his season after 25 defensive snaps. He recorded four tackles in three games; he appeared in all 17 games in each of his first two seasons.
Burns signed a five-year, $141 million contract with the Giants before the 2024 season. He made the Pro Bowl last season and earned second-team All-Pro honors.
The article identifies Kayvon Thibodeau as an option to fill Burns' role, with 2025 No. 3 pick Abdul Carter on the opposite end. It also cites Tremaine Edmunds and rookie Arvell Reese in the middle.
