Giants Await MRI Results After Brian Burns Injures Knee

The New York Giants said Brian Burns would undergo an MRI after he injured his knee during the team’s 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, September 27, as reports indicated the team feared he had torn his ACL. Coach John Harbaugh said after the game that the injury’s extent was not yet known and that there was “some hope.” The supplied reports do not include an MRI result or a direct team confirmation of the diagnosis. Burns was hurt in the fourth quarter and left the field with assistance, according to reports. He had missed practice during the week while dealing with an ankle sprain but played against Tennessee in a limited role. Accounts differ on which ankle was affected, so the side is unclear. Reports attributed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Burns was believed to have torn his ACL. One account said an MRI showed the injury would end his season, but the material available does not include the scan result, and Harbaugh’s postgame comments described the diagnosis as pending. The team’s next medical update will determine whether the suspected tear and season-ending prognosis are confirmed.
