Burress Shoots Himself
New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress spent Friday night at a hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a night club.
Burress was suspended by the Giants earlier in the season for missing team meetings and was not present at the team’s walk through on Saturday morning in preparation for their game against the Redskins Sunday.
He was not going to play anyway because of a hamstring injury.
Burress’ wound is not life threatening but he might have to miss the remainder of the season.
He signed a five-year, $35 million contract with the Giants during the offseason after leading them to a Super Bowl win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots.
