Giants WR Tyree to miss 4-6 weeks with fractured wrist

Aug 27, 2007 - 9:57 PM EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree will miss four to six weeks with a fractured left wrist, coach Tom Coughlin announced Monday.

Tyree will undergo surgery Monday night.

Tyree, 27, played in all 16 games last season, catching 19 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns. He has excelled in coverage on special teams, making the Pro Bowl in 2005.

Coughlin also said Monday that Plaxico Burress, the club's No. 1 wide receiver, was at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan to have his back examined.

Burress did not play in any of the Giants' first three preseason games, missing the first two with a sprained ankle and Saturday's contest against the New York Jets with the flu.

"What provoked it, I don't know," Coughlin said. "His back is the issue right now.

"All I know is he practiced a couple of days and then he had some issues the next day and could not practice. Over the weekend, it got somewhat better - but not completely - so that is why he's seeing a doctor."
