Brian Burns could be involved for the Carolina Panthers in Week 16.

The Carolina Panthers might have their best pass-rushing option available at the Washington Football Team in Week 16 after all. There appeared some doubt as to whether Brian Burns would take his place in the lineup thanks to a knee problem suffered late at the Green Bay Packers. But there are reports surfacing regarding the player pushing to be involved.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Burns could be a surprise inclusion for the Carolina Panthers at FedEx Field, providing he proves to the coaching staff that there won’t be any lingering complications.
