Dolphins’ cornerback Artie Burns faces a significant setback as an MRI has confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The news was revealed by a source to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, indicating that Burns will miss the 2025 season. The injury is a major blow to the Dolphins’ defense, which has been looking to strengthen its secondary for the upcoming year.
Artie Burns, who joined the Dolphins in 2022, has been a key player in their defensive strategy. His absence for the entire 2025 season will require the team to reassess their plans for the secondary. The Dolphins’ coaching staff will likely look to other players on the roster or consider potential free agent signings to fill the void left by Burns’ injury.
This injury not only affects the Dolphins but also has implications for the NFL draft. With Burns’ future in question, the team might prioritize acquiring new talent in the draft to bolster their defense. Fans are now concerned about how the team will adapt to this loss and the overall impact on their performance in the 2025 season.
