skins1972 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 http://blogs.nydailynews.com/giants/ August 02, 2006 Plaxico Hurt Two days after Jeremy Shockey went down with a concussion, the Giants lost another key player when Plaxico Burress suffered an apparent ankle injury. He spent most of the morning session sitting at a table between practice fields with his right ankle wrapped and elevated. It was not clear how he hurt it. Tom Coughlin is expected to provide an update within the hour. UPDATE: After finishing his lunch, Burress said his ankle was, "A little sore, nothing to get overly excited about. I just woke up this morning, it was a little sore. It just swelled up overnight." Burress added that he told his trainers he couldn't practice this morning and has no idea whether he'll be able to practice this afternoon. No tests have been run on his ankle, though Burress said it is being treated. He walked to lunch without a noticeable limp. Coughlin was vague when asked about the injury after practice, but didn't seem to believe it was anything serious. "He just couldn't get it started today," he said. When asked whether Burress would be available for the afternoon practice, he said, "We'll see." * * * Meanwhile, Shockey remained out of practice with a Grade 1 concussion. "I've been better," Shockey said. "I have a headache. I'm very sensitive to light. I can't lie down. I get nauseous and sick and I can't sleep." But Shockey was positive about making a quick return. "I know for a fact it won't be long," he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Seems to be getting worse and worse on a yearly basis. We seem to be ok so far, though, which leads me to think these guys letting themselves go during the offseason has a lot to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sounds minor which is good. Man I hate that you can get hurt playing football. I wish you could turn injuries off like you used to be able to do with some video games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passizle Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 shockey sounds like he has a hangover. Hopefully thats all it is. I hope he has plenty of hangovers during the regular season too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hopefully those guys get healthy soon. I'm a hardcore Redskins fan and all, but don't get me wrong, I'd like to see a strong, injury-free battle for the NFC East this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 ']Clarify something for me. Who exactly is letting themselves go? A lot of these guys don't stay in "Football" shape year-round. One Redskin (in particular) I can think of is Stephen Davis. He always looked like he had to lose a little "babyfat" during the preseason. Not Rosanne-esque, by any means, but still more than a pro should carry. I think many of these guys not staying in Football shape 24/7/365 can have a bad effect this early in the year. One of the things the 'Skins' trainers commented on at the OTA's was how everyone took their offseason regiments very, very seriously. That's one of the reasons they're being rewarded now, starting TC later, not having two-a-days on a daily basis, etcetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football players stay in shape more in the offseason now than they ever have. Shockey's concussion yesterday had nothing to do with him not being in shape. It had everything to do with Will Demps trying to make an early impression much like Matt Bowen did three years ago. As far as Plaxico goes I'm guessing it was just a pulled vagina (and he works it out constantly.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Burress stepped in a hole. I don't see how that reflects the kind of shape he is in. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I thought it was interesting that no tests were done on Burress. He just walked and said "yo, my ankle sprained. I'm not practicing." I think the hurting vagina comment was right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the hurting vagina comment was right on. I think that just reflects the Giants confidence that all the work that Eli and Plaxico had in the offseason already has them in midseason form. No reason to risk it. Oh wait....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
