EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns said the concern the Dallas Cowboys have shown at right tackle has registered inside the Giants defense, in comments made to reporters this week.
For most NFL mothers, game-day nerves never fully go away. And that's certainly true for Angela Burns, the 61-year-old mother of New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns.
There has been no shortage of conversations about the Dallas Cowboys' tackle concerns going into the 2026 season, and the New York Giants have definitely taken notice.
How many of the active NFL players to rush for at least 150 yards in a game can you name in five minutes?
The John Harbaugh era for the New York Giants will begin with a “Sunday Night Football” showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. After missing the playoffs three straight seasons, the Giants made the decision to fire Brian Daboll and pursue a proven winner in Harbaugh.
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
Big Blue's pass-rush may leave quarterback Dak Prescott bruised in Week 1 after the Dallas Cowboys lost one of their best offensive linemen on Monday.
Brian Burns spent years of his NFL career on the verge of a breakout. Now that he has finally realized his potential, he's getting the recognition he deserves from his league mates. The New York Giants outside linebacker was ranked No.
Brian Burns had a career year in 2025, and the New York Giants’ outside linebacker was recognized accordingly. Burns was voted No. 14 on the NFL’s Top 100 Players list, a massive jump for the edge rusher whose previous best mark was No.
The New York Giants have invested more into their defensive line than any other position group in recent years. They spent first-round draft picks on Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter, traded a second-round pick for Brian Burns, and signed multiple veteran interior defensive linemen in free agency.
When the New York Giants picked edge-rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, he arrived with massive expectations.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
The New York Giants have a stacked, enormous linebacker unit, one that veteran EDGE Brian Burns has never seen before. So the team's 2025 sack leader expects the Giants defense to dominate in 2026 by playing with "organized chaos" under first-year defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson.
Burns may have intentionally or unintentionally explained why Thibodeaux is still with Big Blue ahead of training camp.
Expectations are rising in New York after the arrival of John Harbaugh. Burns should play a key role in helping the Giants meet those expectations.
New York Giants fans and outsiders have shared high expectations for what Carter may be able to accomplish during his second pro season as part of a defense that will also feature veteran Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and rookie Arvell Reese.
While it once seemed to be a lock that the New York Giants would trade pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux either before or during the 2026 NFL Draft, Thibodeaux isn't going anywhere, for now.
Do the Giants need to address this Burns question sooner than later?
The New York Giants are widely seen as winners of the NFL offseason after they hired John Harbaugh as their new head coach.
Shortly after the New York Giants traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Giants spent the draft's fifth choice to acquire Ohio State defensive star Arvell Reese.
Burns reacted to the trade that many Giants fans didn't see coming earlier this spring.
The two sides apparently aren't close to reaching an agreement regarding Lawrence's desire to receive a pay raise this offseason.
Lawrence previously went public with a trade request amid his desire for a pay raise.
While Burns is having a successful season, he's part of a 2-12 team that may "earn" the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft by finishing the campaign with the league's worst overall record.
Entering Week 10, stopping the run has been a significant issue for the New York Giants.
Shortly after the New York Giants completed a historic collapse during their 33-32 loss at the Denver Broncos this past Sunday, Giants pass-rusher Brian Burns seemed to voice his frustrations regarding how defensive coordinator Shane Bowen handled the game's last drive.
New York Giants pass rusher Brian Burns addressed a postgame video that some took as him criticizing defensive coordinator Shane Bowen following the team’s 33-32 loss to the Denver Broncos.
During a recent chat with Tom Rock of Newsday, defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches hinted that he and others inside the Giants locker room aren't surprised by how this teammate has performed recently.
