Burress confident he'll play opener
Plaxico Burress pulled on his visor and then adjusted the bill to make it just crooked enough. It was meant to be stylish. It also meant that his practice was over. For about an hour Thursday, Burress trotted out routes and snagged passes along the sideline in full pads before strolling over to the second practice field to watch his teammates work through contact drills. It was his second session since camp began July 25. An ankle injury had kept him out until Tuesday. But as slow and cautious as his rehabilitation may seem, Burress was confident he would be fit for the Giants' regular-season opener Sept. 4 against the Washington Redskins.

Well, the important thing is that he looked good in his visor. That's all that matters.

Adjusted his visor just enough to be cool but not thuggish. Who knew there were rules to this? Not me. :)

No need to wonder why the Giants hesitated to do over his contract. Bad ankles, flat feet, constantly injured. I wonder what Rosenhaus' pitch was for a long term big deal. He is a top receiver, but for how much longer?

He should get some reps in against the Pats. Feels like Plaxico shares Allen Iverson's "Practice?" philosophy only with a ring on.

Of course he'll be ready for the season opener. Cause he ain't even that hurt! This guys is injured Monday thru Saturday throughout the season. He might as well let the Giants know that he'll be injured next season too! But not on Sundays. He's much better then. What a joke! Coughlin, grow some gonads and make this guy practice like all the other gazillionaire athletes.

this guy deserves the big money but due to injury concerns only a short term deal

He'll play but I doubt they will need him to be 100%. The Redskins are good but the Giants should win this game. They face a Redskins team with two rookie WRs and a QB under a new coach and offensive system.
