 ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The New York Giants got a scare on Saturday when wide receiver Plaxico Burress was taken off the field during their first practice session after injuring his right knee.
However, the injury was diagnosed as a hyperextended knee, and the Giants' major offseason acquisition was back on the field for the team's afternoon practice.
Burress was hurt when he went up for a long sideline pass from backup quarterback Jesse Palmer and fell to the ground after battling for the ball with rookie cornerback Ahmad Treaudo. He grabbed his right leg, then lay on his back for about five minutes while trainers examined him.
