The news is ominous regarding Plaxico Burress and his sprained right ankle. Not only is the injury not getting any better it's getting worse, and the likelihood of any improvement in the final seven games of the season is not high. "Don't feel good right now, that's for sure," Burress said yesterday. Burress initially sprained the ankle early in training camp but aggravated the problem in the Sept. 16 loss to the Packers. The Giants managed the injury by keeping Burress out of practice, and the results were more than acceptabl, as Burress ranked among the league leaders in receptions and had eight touchdown catches in the first six games. The hope was the bye week would help strengthen the ankle, but the rest worked no wonders. He had just four catches for a mere 24 yards in the 31-20 loss to the Cowboys and was shut out in the second half. "I had a bye week, and it really didn't change too much," Burress said. "I'll be glad when it's all over so I can rest it and get it back healthy."
