Giants' Burress game-time decision East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico
Burress is suffering from a right hamstring injury and is considered a game-
time decision to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Burress, who was hurt during practice on Wednesday, was limited in his team
workout on Friday.
Sunday will mark a return to the site where the Giants won the Super Bowl
following last season when they toppled the New England Patriots. Burress
caught the winning 13-yard TD pass from Eli Manning with 35 seconds remaining
in the game.
Plaxico Burress is feeling better and will test his injured hamstring in pre-game warmups, according to Bob Papa of the NFL Network.
Our View:It sounds like Burress doing better, but he's still a game-time decision. The Giants/Cardinals game is a late start, so he remains an "iffy" play for owners who have to post their starting lineups before the early game kickoffs.
Plaxico Burress is questionable for the game against Arizona, and he sounded Friday like a man who wasn't sure it was worth the risk to play, according to the New York Daily News. "It's one of those things that being with the weather and how things are going with us I don't want it to linger," Burress said. "I don't want to go out there and put it in a bad position where I hurt it worse. It's not serious. Then again, I know how these hamstring things go."
Our View:Burress missed practice Thursday and Friday, making him a risky play this week against Arizona. We will continue to monitor the newswire and report updates as they become available.
Brandon Jacobs is expected to play today, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network.
Our View:He was listed as probable with a knee ailment. He is not a safe fantasy option, as his workload could be limited and has a tough match-up against the Cardinals' seventh-ranked run defense.
