New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress suffered an accidental gunshot wound Friday night in a club, according to multiple sources.
Details of the incident weren't immediately available, but according to a source the wound was not considered life-threatening.
Fox Sports.com reported that Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg and spent the night in the hospital.

“Lucky for the Giants, he’s unneeded.”
Do you have access to watch all the NY Giants games? Are you nuts? This guy is totally money. Not agreeing with his flaking out during the season but since he came to the Giants he’s been huge.
He’s one of the best clutch receivers in the NFL.
Carrying in a disco? Sorry, I’m for CCW too but this is a prescription for stupidity.
But hasn’t Plax stood up and taken his medicine when he did wrong this year?
He came out and admitted he was wrong. And his teammates helped him to see it as well.
Just say’in.
“Lucky for the Giants, he’s unneeded.”
He’s been benched most of the season. His contribution has been very small. Giants running game has made their receivers better.
Hixon is emerging as the Giants big play man.
Buress has no future in NY.
Hey Plexico. Booze and guns dont mix
“My brother, who lives just north of you in NY, told me once that Giants players were forbidden by management to hang out in NYC, i.e. clubs, bars and nightlife. Know anything about this?”
That’s nonsense. Jeremy Shockey did some of us best work in those places.
I vaguely remember he picked up both moma and daughter Gastineau at one.
Haven’t watched every game but if you say he’s been benched “most of the season” I’ll take your word for it. I thought he had been benched for a half of one game.
Hixon is showing great potential but it’s a bit early. His work should be appreciated for his impact as it is from what I’ve seen. And I’m happy for the guy.
You may be right about Plax’s future though. He’s really shot himself in the foot this time.
Yeah....and where’s Shockey now?
Spoken like a true Dallas fan.
As a rule of thumb CCW aren’t permitted in booze holes. Of course you arent supposed to have them in church either.
You can carry were alcohol is served ie restaurants, but not in places where people go to get $#@^faced.
Ya know? I never felt the need for CCW when I was 20 something
And if I weighed 300 lbs I wouldn’t feel like I needed an equalizer.
He has the right to carry though. But I wouldn’t recommend carrying if you are planning on getting $%#^faced
Wait a minute. This story couldn’t have happened. There are NO GUNS in NY.
Uhm Jeremy is now in his first year with the Aint’s after how many in NY?
The breakdown was coming but with him hurt and the club not allowing him to be on the sidelines for the Super Bowl appeared petty results notwithstanding.
We really liked him here and he was seen in the neighborhood here where Eli Manning lives but it’s been said that his crying in the huddle about getting the ball may have hurt Eli’s development.
Can’t say that’s a fact. But the progression Eli showed when Shockey was out last year and of course this year has proven he was worth the effort to obtain. No matter what, Eli’s a winner.
Not sure about Shockey now. He was really great though and left everything on the field. The best TE since Mark Bavarro.
Hehehe...what a maroon!
“This might not have happened if he had been coached by Barry Switzer...”
LOL. I’ll assume you’re joking.
Switzer carried. Don’t suppose he could stop his players from doing the same. :-)
As Colin Cowherd says, when 3 of the follow 4 are involved, nothing good happens:
1. Women
2. Booze
3. Late night
4. Rich athlete
because he wanted to exercise his second amendment rights.

The Record of Bergen County reported last month that police responded to two domestic disturbance calls at the home of the star wide receiver in the past six months.
