Burress is out for the Giants game...
PITTSBURGH - Earlier this week, Plaxico Burress claimed to be 95 percent healthy and rarin' to go.
Thursday, he took himself out of consideration during a conversation with Pittsburgh Steelers trainer John Norwig.
"When I'm running full speed and make a little move, I still feel it a little bit," Burress said of his hamstring. "So I said to him, and he said to me, it would probably be best for me to sit out the game."
Burress was downgraded to out for Saturday's game at New York against the Giants. It will be his fourth full game out of the lineup after injuring his hamstring early in the second quarter of the Nov. 21 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Burress believes he'll be back for the Dec. 26 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

uke1: thanks for the update JESUS...i USED to be a big fan of this guy but now im starting to think he is a WUSSYDante:
My suspision is that it goes beyond Burress. I suspect the team was involved as well. Logically why would the team take a chance on him reinjuring himself when they wrapped things up, especially when they won all their games during his absence and the playoffs coming up.
Thanks,
Henry

HE you are correct sir...I agree I just think if they hold this guy out to long he may not be in any condition when they need him...Pitt has no deep threat without him which is sad in itself, but on hindsight playing the halpless Giants they may be playing it safe one more week by keeping him out
