New York Giants All-Pro Brian Burns to miss the rest of 2026 with season-ending injury
Injuries are an unfortunate part of the NFL, and no team may have lost more star power over the last two weeks than the New York Giants. In Week Two, they saw their starting quarterback, Jaxson Dart, go down with a severe knee injury that will cost him the rest of the 2026 NFL season.

The New York Giants have suffered a major setback with the news that their All-Pro pass rusher Brian Burns will miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to a torn ACL. This devastating injury comes just weeks after the loss of their starting quarterback, Jaxson Dart, who suffered a severe knee injury during Week 2. Burns, a Second Team All-Pro last season, had not missed a game since 2020 and had a career-high 16.5 sacks in 2025, earning a spot in the Pro Bowl for the third time.
His absence will significantly impact the Giants' defense, as his presence forces opposing offensive lines to commit double-teams, creating opportunities for his teammates to generate pressure on quarterbacks. The Giants now face the daunting task of finding a replacement for Burns, a vital piece of their pass rush, as there are few players capable of replicating his impact.
