Giants' Burress Game-Time Decision

POSTED: 8:02 pm EST November 21, 2008

(Sports Network) - New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is suffering from a right hamstring injury and is considered a game- time decision to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Burress, who was hurt during practice on Wednesday, was limited in his team workout on Friday.

Sunday will mark a return to the site where the Giants won the Super Bowl following last season when they toppled the New England Patriots. Burress caught the winning 13-yard TD pass from Eli Manning with 35 seconds remaining in the game.

"It is definitely a place where it was a record setting event and it was definitely a great experience for us, a great time for us, as young men and being able to accomplish dreams for our organization, but it is the regular season and none of that stuff really can help us or does anything for us come Sunday," said Burres. "I am pretty sure we will get off the plane and enjoy the weather first of all and go out and try to get a win."

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin officially listed Burress as questionable for the game.

"Nothing new except he is a little better than he was the day before," Coughlin said. "He did some things. But it will wind up being a game time, I'm sure."

Burress is the Giants' leading receiver with 35 catches for 454 yards and four touchdowns.

Running back Brandon Jacobs is listed as probable for Sunday's game due to a right knee injury. He missed practice earlier this week because of the injury.
