It’s been a few months since former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty and was sent to jail to serve two years of imprisonment, and his former coach Tom Coughlin still remembers him and recently expressed that he felt sad for what happened to the ex-NFL receiver.
“It’s very sad," Coughlin said today at the NFL annual league meetings. "I’m hoping that he has an opportunity to come home quickly. I hope he’s paid his dues and I hope all of those things have been … he does have a young boy and a young daughter. He’s needed. I just think that’s a real sad event that took place, not that it isn’t deserved, but when you think about a young guy with a young family been away this long, I’m hoping he comes out a better person and has the ability to see all that you have to in terms of doing the right things and making the right choices.”
Coughlin also said that he has considered corresponding with Burress, but actually it was Burress’ former teammate, defensive end Michael Strahan has ever visited him in prison. Whatsoever, Coughlin did said something good of the prisoner- he believes that Burress will be able to wear back the NFL jersey of a team but it is not necessarily to be the Giants.

Giants WR Manningham is questionable for Sunday game after missing practice
For hurting the shoulder during Thursday practice, the New York Giants receiver Mario Manningham was held out of Friday’s practice and listed questionable for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Manningham hurt the shoulder on the final play of practice on Thursday and was held out of the team’s final workout for Sunday’s game as a precaution.
“They thought it was better if he just not work today,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “So I’m going to list him as questionable, but hopefully he will make it.”
Manningham said that he was all right to play on Sunday. Having started six of seven games this season, the receiver has caught 28 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns. The Giants would be glad if he could play in good condition on Sunday. But if he could not, they will have to choose a starter from Domenik Hixon and Hakeem Nicks, who is in his first year of wearing NFL jersey and has caught touchdowns in four straight games.
