Brian Burns gutting through groin injury that Giants edge rusher limped through vs. Eagles

Brian Burns somehow is playing Monday night in Pittsburgh.

The Giants’ $28 million edge rusher limped off the field and out of MetLife Stadium last Sunday with a groin injury.

He has labored through the pain for two straight games. He now has an Achilles injury on top of it. And he didn’t turn in a full practice all week.

But Burns is not even on the final injury report as the Giants (2-5) head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers (5-2) on Monday Night Football.

How did Burns even make it onto the practice field this week?

“Life,” Burns said. “Life’s going to keep lifting.”

Has he done a ton of recovery?

“Something like that,” he said.

It’s not clear how much Burns will be able to contribute in the game.

The Giants were managing his snaps early in the Philadelphia loss, and he went down later in the defeat.

It seems risky, frankly, to play him in Pittsburgh. But the Giants are in dire straits.

Punter Jamie Gillan (left hamstring), corner Adoree Jackson (neck) and linebacker Ty Summers (ankle) are all out for the game.

Corner Cor’Dale Flott (groin) is listed as doubtful, while right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (hip) and corner Tre Hawkins (ankle) are questionable.

Safety Dane Belton (calf) and backup guard Jake Kubas (abdomen) also were limited with new injuries sustained in practice — something that has become a trend this season — but did not receive game statuses.

Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (hip) was limited but will play, the same as last week.
