If there was any inkling that Panthers defensive end Brian Burns and Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones had buried the hatchet after Sunday's controversial play by Jones, Burns offered some clarity on the issue on Wednesday: no, they have not.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Burns said he had not yet received an apology from Jones—who was seen twisting Burns's ankle on the ground during Sunday's game after a fumble—and offered some words of encouragement for defensive ends who were scheduled to face the Patriots in the future.
"It would be nice to have an apology," Burns said.
