BURRESS EXPECTED BACK IN TWO WEEKS

Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress appears to have escaped with only a minor injury after accidentally shooting himself in the leg. Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports cites two unnamed sources who say Burress should be back in two weeks. “I don’t exactly know what happened with all of this, where he was or whether he had the gun or what,” a source told Cole. “All I know is he’s supposed to be back in a couple of weeks.” Mike Garafalo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that an unnamed Giants player said of Burress, “He is okay. That’s all I can say.” Burress was already out for the Giants’ game Sunday against the Redskins because of a hamstring injury. It is not clear what part of Burress’s leg was injured in the shooting, but all indications are that the injury is not serious.
