The Facts:
Burress was suspended for one game by the New York Giants on Wednesday for an undisclosed violation of team rules. GM Jerry Reese and HC Tom Coughlin informed Burress of the suspension Wednesday morning before the team held a bye-week practice. The suspension takes effect immediately, meaning Burress will miss the Giants (3-0) game against the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 5.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Giants did not specify why Burress was suspended. FoxSports.com said that Burress did not show up for work on Monday and did not telephone or answer phone messages to explain his absence. Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said the team was not confirming or denying any reason for the suspension. ... Again the Giants are idle this week, so Fantasy owners will be without Burress for two straight weeks.
