The Cleveland Browns may just get offensive tackles Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills back in their lineup this week against the New York Giants, and as they ease back onto the field they may just dodge a matchup against Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns.
While Burns was not on the injury report all week, he was a late addition on Friday with a hamstring injury. The Giants have officially listed him as questionable for Sunday’s game at Huntington Bank Field.
Burns, who was traded from the Carolina Panthers to the Giants this offseason before signing a mega-deal in the Big Apple, has yet to record a sack this season. However, as a fringe double-digit sack artist, not having to see him in the first game that either (or potentially both) Conklin or Wills get back onto the field would be a stellar way for them to get their feet wet again in live-action football.
We will be monitoring closely to see if Burns can play this week against the Browns.
