Brian Burns Ruled Out Against Bears

Brian Burns Ruled Out Against Bears

one year ago

Carolina Panthers edge rusher Brian Burns (concussion) will not play against the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football in Week 10. The two-time Pro Bowler exited the Week 9 loss to the Indianapolis Colts with a concussion, so he was trending toward missing this contest on a short week. The 25-year-old has 5.5 sacks in eight games this season, and his absence will likely be a big loss for the Panthers' defense this week. That said, Carolina is still an intriguing fantasy defense/special teams unit in a potential matchup with Tyson Bagent. Justin Fields (thumb) still might not be ready to make his return.
