Plaxico Unchanged

Here’s a statement from head trainer Ronnie Barnes about the second opinion Dr. Robert Anderson offered in Charlotte yesterday on Plaxico Burress’ sprained right ankle.
It’s just unclear enough to leave all sorts of possibilities for Sunday. The way I read it is he’ll sit out practice and then determine himself, with help from various bracing and orthotic devices, whether he can play or not. But that’s without getting further illumination from Tom Coughlin. Actually, I don’t know if he’s going to be available.
Here’s the statement.
“Plaxico and I visited with Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte yesterday.Dr. Anderson reviewed Plaxico’s MRI results and administered his own physical exam of Plaxico.
“Dr. Anderson confirmed our findings, which is that Plaxico has a serious sprain to his right ankle.
“Following the exam, Dr. Anderson conferred with Dr. Warren and it was determined that at this point, we will continue the course of treatment and therapy that we have used since Plaxico reinjured the right ankle when he was stepped on during the Green Bay game. Plaxcio will continue his modality therapy, and we will explore all options regarding the most
appropriate shoes, orthotics and braces.
“The best prescription for this injury is rest, and as a result,
Plaxico’s practice time for the immediate future will be limited.
“For the time being, we will continue to evaluate Plaxico’s injury on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis.”
Availability for Sunday? Like I said, darned if I know. At least there’s no surgery indicated.
Ciao for now.

My guess – they’ll alternate him with one or two receivers to protect his ankle as much as possible.
