Shockey, Burress no-shows at Giants camp
Tuesday, March 20th 2007, 4:00 AM
Jeremy Shockey and Plaxico Burress were again among the no-shows as the Giants opened their offseason workout program yesterday.
Both players have annually skipped the technically voluntary program to work out with personal trainers in Miami. New Giants GM Jerry Reese had said he hoped to talk the tight end and wide receiver into attending at least part of the program this year. And quarterback Eli Manning said in January that he thought Burress "might be here a little bit more this offseason."
It's possible they both still will attend part of the program, which runs through June.
Among the players who did attend yesterday were Michael Strahan, who is recovering from a badly sprained foot, and William Joseph, who has skipped the program in the past.
Also, the Giants are on the verge of acquiring their first free agent, after they signed restricted free agent fullback Vonta Leach to an offer sheet yesterday.
