Plax Good To Go

Guess you can stop holding your breath on Plaxico Burress’ status. He said he’s good to go despite having added a left knee injury to his sprained right ankle.
Burress continued to sit out practice, but coach Tom Coughlin said he should make it Sunday. Not like the Giants have any great options there. If he has some sort of major setback between now and then, they’ll be down to Sinorice Moss as their deep threat.
“He didn’t work, but we expect he’ll play,” Coughlin said.
“It’s a little sore,” Burress said, referring to his knee injury. “It’s been hurt, so I’ll just go out and keep playing through it. It just goes along with everything else I’ve had. It’s nothing real serious.”
Running back Derrick Ward took his third full day of practice and proclaimed himself ready to return after sitting with groin and ankle injuries the last four weeks. He is expected to start in Chicago, since Brandon Jacobs is doubtful at best with a strained hamstring.
Linebacker Antonio Pierce practiced and is expected to start, but cornerback Aaron Ross, dealing with a hamstring injury, will not play. Kevin Dockery will replace him at left cornerback.
WR Steve Smith worked a full practice today, but he’s probably a week away from actually playing. S Gibril Wilson sat, and could be limited in the game. That’s not great news right there, since the talent behind James Butler and Wilson is inexperienced Michael Johnson and unused Craig Dahl.
Ciao for now.
