November 12, 2007 New York Giants Injury Update – Plaxico Burress’ Ankle is Getting Worse: WR Plaxico Burress re-aggravated his ankle injury during the game against the Cowboys. According to Burress, the ankle feels worse than it ever has. “Today is probably the worst it’s felt,” Burress said yesterday. “It seems like its getting worse. All I can do is keep getting treatment and rehab. That’s really all I can do about it…I don’t think it is going to get better. It’s just something I have to play with for a little while. I’ll be glad when it’s all over and I can rest it and get it healthy.”
Burress said resting the ankle for a few games is not an option. “It’s pretty much going to feel the same,” Burress said. “I had a bye week and it really didn’t change too much.”
“There isn’t any question that he is bothered by the ankle,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “It doesn’t wait until after the game to start bothering him. He is out there, he is trying, he is going as hard as he can, he wants to play, he wants to be involved, and it will be that way for a couple of days. (On Tuesday) he will feel a little bit better than he felt today and then Wednesday I hope he will feel even better and with that his spirits rise. He is down because we lost and because he is hurting today. As he starts to feel better, the process normally is he is swollen the day after and then he gets a little bit better and then his spirits come back up, but he continues to work well in meetings and try to prepare as best he can without a whole lot of snaps.”
RT Kareem McKenzie said his bruised back was fine.
