EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Plaxico Burress returned to Giants Stadium on Tuesday, only to be told that he would be suspended four games and placed on the non-football injury list.

While police were still trying to sort out the events surrounding the Manhattan nightclub shooting that prompted the suspension, Burress' season with the Super Bowl champions, and possibly his career with the team, came to an end.

The star receiver drove up to the stadium tunnel, one day after he was charged with illegal gun possession. Burress was required to be there because he is on the active roster and injured. He left after about six hours.

Burress accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a club last weekend in a case that could land him in jail and has angered the mayor of New York.

Charles Way, the team's director of player development, and trainer Ronnie Barnes talked to police on Monday about the shooting, but police said they are still waiting to speak to more informed witnesses. That includes people at the hospital that treated Burress and teammate Antonio Pierce, who was at the club.

Police want to know what the linebacker did moments after the shooting and whether he took part in a cover-up. Police also want to talk to Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who they now believe was at the club as well.

Pierce is planning to meet with members of the district attorney's office "in the near future," according to his lawyer, Michael Bachner.

Appearing in his regular Tuesday afternoon spot on Sirius NFL Radio, Pierce declined to answer questions about the shooting.

"It's not appropriate with the police being involved.

The Mara's will never let this guy play for them again guaranteed.

100% correct. and since the NFL has no garunteed contracts it wont be that bad money wise to get rid of him. I believe he will be suspended by the NFL and will probably be picked up by the Cowboys, since Jerry Jones likes convicts on his team.

Suspend the guy who can't play for them for a month.........how strong of them.

By doing so they also eliminated any chance of him coming back for the playoffs. The guy is far more valuable to them than Pacman Jones could ever be to the Cowboys or Ocho Cinco is to the Bengals, yet they still made the right move. Regardless of what the league or state of NY does to him, you can guarantee Plax has played his last game as a Giant. Furthermore the Giants were smart enough to get Plax to sign contract that would take into account something this magnanimously stupid. I hate the Giants, I really do. But make no mistake they are a classy organization. They will not stand for players such as Plaxico.
