The Facts:
Burress will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Ravens because of an ankle sprain, and one of his backups, Sinorice Moss, could also miss the game with the same injury. Burress has not practiced since Aug. 2, and Moss sat out Friday's workout, which was the last extended practice before the game Sunday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burress's absence continues to be a source of concern for HC Tom Coughlin because he wants his first-string receivers to work with Eli Manning in the preseason. "We need the timing work," Coughlin said. "That's where I think we're a little behind, in our timing." Burress also missed much of the Giants' off-season conditioning program when he could have been catching passes from Manning. But Burress has played down the significance of missing practice time or the need to work on the timing between QB and WR. ... On a more positive note, veteran WR Amani Toomer is expected to play Sunday.
