Jets wide receiver Plaxico Burress returned from his hometown charity trip in Virginia Beach a day early, but did not practice on Tuesday because he was attending another charity function at Central Park East Middle School in East Harlem. Burress, who had been given two personal days by coach Rex Ryan a few months ago, arrived at the Jets' practice facility on Tuesday afternoon for meetings and film study. "I came back in [Monday night]. I wasn't supposed to come back until [Tuesday], but I came back [Monday night] and tried to catch up as much as I could going into this week," Burress said. "Even though it's a big game they let me go out and try to fulfill my obligations, so I just tried to come back and do as much as I can for the rest of the week." Ryan gave Burress the personal days well in advance, without realizing this week was an odd week. The Jets -- like all other NFL teams -- usually have Tuesday off, but because of Thanksgiving, Ryan changed the schedule to allow his players to spend time with their families and friends on Thursday.
