“There's never a good week for the Giants to be without Plaxico Burress…Yet as the Giants began preparation for their NFC East rival Wednesday, Burress was miles away from the practice field. He and trainer Ronnie Barnes left around mid-morning for Charlotte, N.C., to confer with foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson.
The subject: Burress' right ankle, which kept him out of practice all last week. The ankle has bothered him since training camp, and continues to be a sore spot after each game.
Anderson has worked with several Giants in the past, including Jeremy Shockey, Rich Seubert and Justin Tuck. He is renowned as one of the best in his business, if not the best.”

“Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme underwent right elbow surgery this morning at Carolinas Medical Center.
Delhomme was having what is commonly known as Tommy John Surgery, in which a tendon is taken from another part of his body to strengthen and repair the elbow.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Pat Connor of OrthoCarolina. Connor is also the Panthers' team physician. ‘Jake underwent a medial ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction this morning of his right elbow and the surgery went well,’ Connor said in a statement. ‘His post-operative rehabilitation will start soon and he has an excellent prognosis.’”
