The Facts:
Burress has a "classic sprain," of his left ankle, the WR said after having an MRI Friday morning. He said the ankle was sore, irritated and little bit painful, but would have been able to play in the Jets' Monday night preseason opener -- if it were the regular season. "This is a sprain, this is preseason," Burress said. "Rex [Ryan's] mindset is we have a chance to get 100 percent, this one time miss (the game) and get 100 percent. We got a chance to do it right, let’s do it right."

Burress said he was able to run and make cuts when he ran drills on the sideline alone during Friday afternoon’s practice. "I mean I’ve been out there in individuals, running and jumping and cutting. I believe I can get through a practice," Burress said. "Their whole thing is they don’t want me to get through a practice and not be able to practice for two or three days. That’s Rex’s mindset, so that’s the way we’re going. ..." Burress has not been in a game since November 2008 and is aching to get back into a game. He told Ryan he wanted to get his feet wet Monday, but understands he will have to wait a few more days.
