It's once again game day for the NY Giants and this team is desperate for a win. After starting off the season 0-2, Brian Daboll and Co. are hoping they can turn the season around by taking down Cleveland on the road. It's not going to be easy and there have been plenty of worried fans regarding the status of star pass-rusher Brian Burns.

On the final injury report of the week, Burns popped up with a groin issue. He has been listed as questionable for this one. So, will No. 0 be on the field trying to make life difficult for Deshaun Watson and the rest of the Cleveland offense? It's looking that way, as Art Stapleton is reporting that Burns should be good to go for the Sunday afternoon meeting:

Myles Garrett will play vs. the Giants despite injuries to his feet

Leading up to Sunday, there was some speculation that standout pass-rusher Myles Garrett might not be able to play. However, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year revealed that he's dealing with injuries to both of his feet and surgery is going to be discussed once the campaign comes to a close this winter.

For Week 3, though, Garrett said that he's able to manage the pain and he doesn't expect to miss any time this season. It will be on the Giants' offensive line to try and contain Garrett. A battle between him and left tackle Andrew Thomas is going to be a lot of fun to watch. It will be a great opportunity for Thomas and the rest of the line to showcase how much they've improved since 2023.
