Will Plaxico Burress Play?

By Jared Blank on Oct 26, 2008, 12:44 pm

According to Jay Glazer of FoxSports and reported by profootballtalk.com, Giants WR Plaxico Burress will not start today and may not play at all.

Glazer notes that Burress missed several treatments this week for his neck injury.

The Post’s Paul Schwartz has picked up on this story as well in his Giants Blog.

Daily news writer Ralph Vacchiano weighs in as well here.

The Giants are said to contemplating another suspension for Burress.

I’m sure this story will continue to unfold but it’s hard to believe we are going through this again with Burress.  You wonder at what point his off the field distractions begin to hurt team chemistry.  Hopefully it does not.  Stay tuned obviously.

UPDATE 3:06PM : Daily News beat reporter Ralph Vacchiano confirms that Domenik Hixon will get the first-team nod, but writes that he’s “hearing (Plax) will likely play, and he only skipped treatment once.” The Star-Ledger’s Mike Garafalo is hearing that Burress will only miss the first series.

    this is becoming ridiculous.

    im sure we’d be fine with DHixon in his place.
