Giants star Plaxico Burress arrives at stadium as team mulls future

A day after being busted on gun charges that could put him in jail for at least 3 1/2 years, troubled Giant Plaxico Burress showed up at team practice Tuesday - possibly for the last time.

Dressed in a black jacket, light-colored T-shirt, jeans and tan work boots, Burress arrived at Giants Stadium at 9:20 a.m. for a mandatory injury treatment session for his right strained hamstring and the self-inflicted gunshot wound he got while drinking at a midtown nightclub early Saturday.

The Super Bowl hero drove up in a gray van, went through a Meadowlands security gate and parked next to the stadium. Carrying a Starbuck's coffee, he silently strode about 15 feet and through a door without speaking to a crowd of about 20 reporters waiting for his arrival.

The star receiver is expected to meet with team officials for the first time since the shooting that has led the NYPD and Mayor Bloomberg to accuse the Giants and an elite upper East Side Hospital of covering up the crime.

The Giants, who could place Burress on the Non-football Injury list once, are expected to announce a decision on his future later Tuesday.
