  "account": "Former New York Giants first-round draft pick Jason Pierre-Paul contacted the team on Monday, following news that edge rusher Brian Burns may have suffered a knee injury. Pierre-Paul took to Twitter, writing \"@Giants what's up?\" on September 28, 2026. According to reports, Burns left the game in the fourth quarter with the leg injured and unable to bear weight. He had already been sidelined by a left ankle sprain earlier in the week and was considered questionable. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Burns would undergo an MRI, hinting that the injury might be more severe than initially believed. Subsequent reports from NFL Network and ESPN confirmed the ACL tear, which would force Burns to the season-ending injured reserve list. With Burns sidelined, the Giants will face a shortage of edge rushers, as their pass rush had struggled through the first two games. Pierre-Paul had previously expressed his availability to the Giants in April, having signed with the franchise in the 15th round in 2010. The veteran played a crucial role in the team's Super Bowl victories in 2011 and 2012 before joining Tampa Bay and later Baltimore. With Odell Beckham Jr. returning to the roster, a reunion with Pierre-Paul could provide a familiar face and valuable experience to the Giants' thin defense.",
