NFL Trade Rumors
According to Adam Schefter, the Dolphins fear CB Artie Burns has torn his ACL.
Burns was injured at practice today in a freak accident when he collided with another player during back-pedal drills in warmups.
He was spotted at the facility on crutches. Unfortunately, team doctors can usually accurately diagnose a torn ACL and the MRI is just confirmation.
The veteran cornerback had an opportunity to compete for a role and a roster spot in a shallow Miami cornerback room.
Burns, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Steelers back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $9.59 million rookie contract.
Pittsburgh elected to decline Burns’ fifth-year option for 2020 and he later signed a one-year contract with the Bears. Chicago re-signed him to another one-year deal for 2021.
From there, the Seahawks signed Burns to a one-year deal and he bounced on and off the practice squad. The Seahawks re-signed him to a one-year deal back in March 2024 but he was among their final roster cuts before being re-signed to the practice squad and released again in December.
Burns re-signed to the practice squad and eventually the active roster to end the season and entered the offseason an unrestricted free agent. The Dolphins signed him to a one-year deal.
In 2024, Burns appeared in four games for the Seahawks and recorded four tackles and three pass defenses.
