<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>There was an unusual reaction yesterday out at practice as Plaxico Burress hit the field for the first time in seven weeks.</p> "It was so funny, the first ball I caught in practice all my teammates started clapping," Burress said. "I guess they got a big kick out of that."</p> It was a sight the Giants haven't seen since the second week of the season. Burress on Sept. 16 against the Packers aggravated a severely sprained right injury that first surfaced early in training camp.</p> Time off for the bye week resulted in a move forward for Burress, who has not missed a game this season.</p> Previously he was kept out of practice in order to reduce the swelling and soreness in his ankle. Coming off the break, he was able to take part in all the individual and team drills and worked his way into a good number of plays with the first-team offense.</p> "I was mixing it up, going in and out, running some of the plays I thought were important for me to be in; some of the plays we'll be running this week," said Burress, who has 37 catches for 564 yards and eight touchdowns.</p> "It feels about the same. It's getting a little stronger," he said. "It can be nothing but positive, the more reps I can go out and get it will be more beneficial to myself and Eli [Manning]."</div></p> Source: NY Post</p>
