The New York Giants have a major injury concern in the first half of the Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs after outside linebacker Brian Burns suffered an injury.

Burns was shaken up near the end of the first half when he jumped up to bat down a Patrick Mahomes pass and landed awkwardly and appeared to suffer some sort of a leg injury.

Prior to his exit, Burns tallied four tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, two passes defensed and one QB hit.

Follow along below for the latest updates on Burns.

Burns was able to walk off the field under his own power, which is certainly a good sign. We're still waiting for an official update from the Giants.
