New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico BurressAs to be expected and to no one’s surprise, New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress will start against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday.  His recurring ankle injury makes every week an adventure as no one, even those in East Rutherford, really knows until just before gametime whether Burress will play.

Funny thing – even with his nagging ankle injury, he has been quite productive.  Burress leads the Giants with 37 receptions and eight touchdowns so far this season.  Burress has not taken part in practice while his ankle, which was injured in training camp, tries to mend.  The Giants will no doubt need him as they face the Cowboys’ secondary which will no doubt key on Burress – perhaps even double-team him.
