Story summary

Brian Burns, the star linebacker for the New York Giants, is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season after suffering a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. This follows Jaxson Dart, the team’s second-year quarterback, who was lost for the season with a severe knee injury two weeks earlier. Burns' prognosis is better than Dart's as he won't need surgery on an ankle injury sustained in the same Rams loss but now faces a significant recovery period due to the ACL tear.

The Giants are rallying around backup quarterback Jameis Winston, who led them to a 12-7 victory over the Titans, dedicating the win to Dart. Despite Winston's modest performance (14 of 22 passes for 118 yards), the team’s defense and special teams played crucial roles in securing the narrow win.

With key players sidelined, the Giants are entering an uncertain phase of their season, focusing on building a cohesive unit around Winston as they aim to make the playoffs despite significant injuries.
