The New York Giants are not counting on Plaxico Burress’ return to the team next season.
The troubled but tallented wide receiver is facing fellony charges stemming from an incident in which Burress accidentaly shot himself in the leg and could be sentenced to significant jail time if convicted.
Giants GM Jerry Reese stated “I hope he’s motivated, but the legal process is what’s most important right now and his health is what’s most important right now. But we’ll prepare as if he’s not going to be here, and if he is, it’s a bonus.”
