Plaxico Burress Returns to Giants Practice; May Miss Redskins Game

The New York Giants got a little good news and a little bad news yesterday. The good news was that star wide receiver Plaxico Burress returned to practice on a limited basis after re-injuring his ankle last weekend. The bad news is that he may not be ready for tomorrow's game against the Washington Redskins.

"He was limited," Tom Coughlin said. "He did some things. He didn't complete the full practice, but he did a few things and we'll see. It's going to be one of those deals depending on how he feels on game day."
If Burress is unable to go, that would leave the Giants with Amani Toomer, Sinorice Moss and Anthony Mix as their wide receivers. In addition to those three, David Tyree may also be activated for the first time this year. He returned to practice this week, and appears to be fully healed from his wrist injury.

Keep in mind, the Giants will also be without rookie receiver Steve Smith who fractured his scapula last week.
