New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns is expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, coach John Harbaugh said Monday.
Harbaugh confirmed that Burns would have surgery to repair the injury that happened midway through the fourth quarter Sunday against Tennessee.
Burns had a career-high 16 1/2 sacks last season, ranking second in the NFL behind only record-setter Myles Garrett. His absence will likely mean a bigger role for fellow edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
