November 24, 2008 New York Giants Injury Report: WR Plaxico Burress played only one series against the Arizona Cardinals due to concerns about his hamstring injury. He underwent tests yesterday. “We should know more about it later in the day (on Monday),” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “I don’t know (if he made the injury worse). I don’t think so. But we are going to have to wait and see based on (Monday’s tests)…So if we didn’t set it back, then he will be in his second week and I think that hopefully we can get it right.”
When asked about other injuries, Coughlin responded, “(LB) Jonathan Goff came out of the game with a hamstring. (HB) Brandon (Jacobs) did not play (due to his knee injury). We are hoping that (DT) Fred (Robbins), who jammed up a shoulder, seemed to have good flexibility (on Monday). So hopefully he will be okay as well…(TE Kevin Boss suffered) a mild concussion that they don’t think is an issue. But he did kind of bang both knees up, but they were just contusions.”
Notes: The NFL announced that the Giants game against the Eagles on December 7 will remain a 1:00PM kickoff, as originally scheduled. Game times in the season’s final seven weeks are subject to change because of the NFL’s flex schedule policy.
The last time the Giants won 10 of their first 11 games was 1990.
The Giants have become only the second team in NFL history to win five consecutive games against teams with winning records. The 1970 Minnesota Vikings own the record with six straight wins against teams over .500.
The Giants won their seventh consecutive indoor game and are now 24-12 in regular season dome games. Their .667 winning percentage in indoor games is second-best among teams that play their home games outdoors.
