Giants Week 3 Injury Report: Brian Burns Listed as Questionable

In this story:
New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns was listed on the team’s final injury report Friday with a groin issue, which has left him with a QUESTIONABLE diagnosis.
Burns, who practiced in full all week long, is a surprise addition to the injury report, as he practiced all week long with no indication of any issues. Head coach Brian Daboll speaks with reporters before practice, and Friday is his final media availability before a game, so there was no clarification from him regarding what may have happened.
Defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (abdomen) and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (neck) were also added to the injury report Nunez-Roched being limited and Euemunoir being a full participant. Neither received a final injury designation.
In other Giants injury news, inside linebacker Darius Muasau (knee) is also questionable for Sunday. Inside linebacker, Isaiah Simmons (personal) returned to practice and did not get an injury designation. And cornerback Nick McCloud (knee) will miss his second straight game.
