Second straight day Burress out of practice
Plaxico Burress missed practice for the second straight day.
Tempe, AZÂ - New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress didn’t practice for the second straight day, as the team prepares for Super Bowl XLII against the unbeaten New England Patriots.
Pool reporter John Clayton noted that Burress, who missed Wednesday’s practice because of a chronic right ankle injury, also missed Thursday’s because of swelling and soreness in his left knee.
Burress dressed for practice, but spent most of the session getting treatment.
“He has an ankle that always has been a problem, but he also has some issues with a knee that off and on in the past has bothered him,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said, according to Clayton’s report. “That’s the thing right now. Between the two of them, that’s why he’s not working. He comes out and tries to go and can’t go.”
Cornerback Kevin Dockery and guard Rich Seubert, who were limited in practice on Wednesday, both participated in Thursday’s practice.
