Overview

  • An MRI on Thursday confirmed Burns tore his ACL during the first day of training camp, ending his 2025 season.
  • Burns exited the opening practice on crutches after suffering the knee injury on July 23.
  • The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal in March following three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.
  • Miami placed Burns on injured reserve and signed veteran cornerback Cornell Armstrong to bolster its thinned secondary.
  • After trading Jalen Ramsey last offseason, the Dolphins will lean on younger and undrafted players to fill remaining cornerback roles.
