  "account": "New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns exited Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans in the fourth quarter due to what seemed like a significant right-leg injury. At MetLife Stadium, Burns collapsed to the ground, exhibiting obvious discomfort, while medical personnel rushed to the field. Teammates Aaron Stinnie and Andrew Thomas assisted him in exiting the field, as he battled to bear weight on his right leg. Trainers seemed to attend to the knee before Burns was swiftly transported to the locker room, bypassing the medical tent. The 28-year-old edge rusher was unexpectedly active after sitting out all practices this week due to a left ankle sprain sustained late in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite Harbaugh's decision to sideline Burns during this short week, he suited up and played a role in the game. Burns, who has never missed a game since joining the Giants in 2024, recorded a career-high 16.5 sacks last season. New York's pass rush entered the match with only one sack in their first two games. Additional evaluations will determine the extent of Burns' injury, with an official update anticipated post-game.",
