Rosenhaus: Plaxico Burress will play in 2011

Jan 27, 2011

Plaxico Burress is expected to be out of prison in six months, and once Burress is free, his agent is ready to get right to work on getting him signed with an NFL team.

“I’m not a big advocate of making predictions on teams because so much can change,” Drew Rosenhaus told Josina Anderson on Showtime’s Inside the NFL. “But I am not afraid to make the following prediction: Plaxico Burress will be playing in 2011, and he will play very well. And it will be a very happy ending to a very tough, tough story for him.”

Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, a teammate who has become close with Burress’s children while Burress has been imprisoned, said he believes there’s “no question” that Burress would be welcomed back to the Giants.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
