The New York Giants' star receiver has missed two straight days of practice with swelling and soreness in his left knee.

"He has an ankle that always has been a problem, but he also has some issues with a knee that off and on in the past has bothered him," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. "That's the thing right now. Between the two of them, that's why he's not working. He comes out and tries to go and can't go."

Burress expects to play on Sunday without being limited, at least according to ESPN's Ed Werder and his inside source. However, you have to wonder how effective he'll be if he's so injured that he's willing to withstand the media frenzy that his missed practices have caused.
