New York Giants Injury Update: Injured Brian Burns “Should Be Ready” for Sunday 

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns (ankle) missed his second day of practice this week, but head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Burns “should be ready to go for the game” Sunday against Atlanta.

Burns, who got blindsided on a Lamar Jackson scramble last week, told reporters after the loss to the Ravens that his “ankle got rolled up pretty bad, but nothing crazy.” HE has been receiving treatment for the injury with the goal of him being able to take a regular workload on Sunday, but it’s unclear as of now if he’ll be able to take a full workload or if he’ll be on a  pitch count. 

In addition to Burns, inside linebacker Bobby Okereke (back), OL Aaron Stinnie (concussion), cornerback Greg Stroman (shoulder/shin), and outside linebacker Patrick Johnson (knee) were not scheduled to practice on Thursday. 

Jake Kubas continued to get reps at left guard for Stinnie while he’s in the protocol. And Johnson’s knee injury, Daboll said on Wednesday, is looking more like a long-term deal.

Daboll also said that no thought has been given as of now to shutting down Okereke, who reportedly has a herniated disc in his back.

In other injury news, Daboll said quarterback Tommy DeVito (concussion), who was limited in Wednesday’s practice, would do more on Thursday as he continues to trend toward being available on Sunday, which Daboll said he thought would be the case.
