The Facts:
HC Tom Coughlin was asked about the team's possibly deactivating Burress while his legal situation plays out. "We're dealing with that," Coughlin said. "We've had some discussions and those discussions will be ongoing. Basically, we just put the Redskins game to rest and we're going to be discussing those other issues as we gain information here over the next couple of days."

Asked if he expects Burress to show up for practice on Wednesday, Coughlin said, "Like I said, we're in the stage of trying to gather information and make decisions as to where we go from here. And at this point in time, I'm not prepared to say anything. ..." Earlier today, Burress' lawyer Benjamin Brafman said Burress is healthy enough to play "if they let him play." "I have no idea about the health status," Coughlin said. "We're dealing with all the issues right now." That's when VP of communications Pat Hanlon jumped in and asked, "Did the lawyer say where he got his medical degree from?" Ahhh. ... Did we detect a note of contentiousness there? Has Burress returned GM Jerry Reese's call yet? Stay tuned. More undoubtedly to come.
