  "account": "The New York Giants have sustained yet another season-ending injury setback, with star pass rusher Brian Burns suffering a knee injury during Sunday's Week 3 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The injury is believed to be a season-ending ACL tear, according to reports. Burns entered Sunday's game already nursing an ankle injury, but he aggravated his knee during the match, forcing him to leave the field. Despite playing in Sunday's game while sidelined by a low ankle sprain all week, Burns recorded a career-high 16.5 sacks last season, securing his third Pro Bowl selection in eight years with the NFL. Giants' edge rusher Abdul Carter expressed his concerns about Burns' potential injury, stating, \"Everybody knows what Burns brings to the team. I'm hoping it's nothing too bad.\" The Giants began their season with a 2-1 record and are set to face the Arizona Cardinals in their next game this Sunday.",
