New York Jets training camp: Plaxico Burress resting ankle
The Jets had their second day off in the past five days Wednesday, and the coaching staff hopes it provided another day for WR Plaxico Burress' mending left ankle to get closer to 100 percent.
Burress still hasn't gone through a full practice with the Jets, and sat out Tuesday afternoon as a precaution as the Jets worked on the turf field in their indoor fieldhouse because of rain and wet conditions.
Every day that Burress misses is a lost opportunity for him to establish real chemistry with third-year QB Mark Sanchez. Granted, Burress rarely practiced in 2007 with the Giants because of a chronic right ankle problem, but he and QB Eli Manning already were on the same page.
Notes: The Jets have brought in former Indianapolis offensive coordinator Tom Moore as a consultant to help fix their red-zone woes. The Jets scored touchdowns only 40 percent of the time in the red zone last season, third-worst in the league. The most important potential fix is for Sanchez to become more accurate in close and make quicker reads and thus, quicker throws. A healthy Burress would be a plus. The 6-5 veteran is adept at catching fade routes in the corners of the end zone.
