And John Harbaugh confirmed the worst about Burns’ ACL injury, according to a post on X by Adam Schefter.“Giants’ John Harbaugh confirmed that OLB Brian Burns tore his ACL vs. the Titans and will undergo season-ending surgery.”Burns suffered the injury in the Giants’ lackluster 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

The Giants sit at 2-1 in the NFC East, a half-game behind the Eagles. But it’s hard to imagine them staying in contention without Burns and Dart.Fortunately for the Giants, they seem to have a coach who is capable of meeting these challenging situations head-on, according to Sports Illustrated. Safety Jevon Holland said Harbaugh has a unique outlook.“Everything is a testament to Harbaugh,” Holland said. “A team takes the personality of the coach, and Harbs is a calm … he’s a calm psycho. I mean, he loves the game, and he explains the game and the mindset for the game in such a unique way, but so clear to the fellas that we’re able to tangibly apply the things that he wants us to do. It’s building this football war machine, so that no matter what the circumstances are, we’re able to come out on top.“The team was upset because Jaxson is our leader and everybody wants to see him out there and playing. He cares so much,” safety Jevon Holland told me.Related: John Harbaugh gives welcoming words to JJ McCarthy, but Jameis Winston is still QB1Related: Vikings GM breaks silence on JJ McCarthy trade with Giants
