Plaxico Burress’ struggles this season got worse when he accidentally shot himself in the leg.

Details are still sketchy how bad the injury was, but you must think that this will end his season. Between his sprained ankle in the preseason, suspensions and fines, and his hamstring injury that would have kept him from playing Sunday anyway, this might have been the final straw, even if the injury isn’t serious. He’s averaging less than three receptions a game and has scored only four touchdowns this season. Eli Manning is spreading the ball around pretty evenly, and though Burress’ absence will provide one less concern for opposing defenses, the Giants should still be fine without him. They don’t need the distraction if they want to repeat as Super Bowl champs.
