The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Burress made his debut for the Jets in 11-on-11 team drills Sunday after being limited to being mostly a spectator since he signed a week ago. He rolled his left ankle running routes with Santonio Holmes last Wednesday, and had only been doing light work during the morning walkthroughs.
Diehards Line:Burress lined up on the practice field, ran a route and watched as a pass to him from Mark Sanchez fell incomplete. The plan was for Burress to go through individual work but he managed to get a couple of plays with the first-team offense. "Rex basically told me, `Hey, this is a good start and we don’t want any setbacks,’" Burress said. "I would have kept on going. It’s my first time out there in a couple of years and it just felt good to kind of get back in a groove. But Rex [Ryan] shut me down.” Burress said he was on the field for team drills for “one or two plays” and hopes that number increases during the next few practices.
