The Facts:
Star-Ledger staffer Mike Garafolo doesn't expect Burress, who would like the Giants to address his contract, to participate in the team's conditioning program this offseason because he's still rehabbing his ankle, knee and shoulder (he had a slight AC joint separation -- like Eli Manning's from Week 1 -- that we didn't know about until after the Super Bowl when he walked into the locker room with an ice pack on his shoulder).
Reported by the Newark Star-Ledger
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Injury and/or contract issues notwithstanding, Burress traditionally spends a majority of his offseasons working out in Miami. So any failure to appear when the team cranks up its conditioning program Monday won't come as a major surprise. As Garafolo went on to suggest, Burress' presence at mini-camp, not workouts, will be a true indication of where he stands on his contract issue. We'll also get a better feel for any lingering health issues at that point. Stay tuned.
