Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns needs 3.0 sacks this Sunday to set a new single-season franchise record. And it would really help his chances if he’s on the field that afternoon.
Fortunately, it’s tracking that way for Burns—even despite being added to the Week 18 injury report. The fourth-year pass rusher, who was listed with an ankle issue just three days ahead of the team’s finale against the New Orleans Saints, was as full participant during Thursday’s practice.
