East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin addressed the situation with suspended wide receiver Plaxico Burress on Wednesday, but would not divulge the reasons behind the club's decision to place the oft-troubled receiver on the non-football injury list.

"I had a conversation with Plaxico," Coughlin said Wednesday. "He was very humble, he was remorseful. Obviously, it doesn't change anything. But you have to understand that he is a part of our team. Our concern is with he and his family's well-being.

"I will answer no questions about what happened, or details, or anything of that nature.

"I am pleased with our team, with our mental toughness, with our ability to focus, with our ability to approach the task at hand, despite the circumstances that were laid in front of them Saturday morning."

The Giants suspended Burress four games and ended his season by placing him on the non-football injury list Tuesday in the wake of the accidental shooting early Saturday morning at a New York City night club.

Burress recently surrendered to authorities and was arraigned on a pair of weapons charges after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh and spending a night in a New York hospital.

Giants team doctors examined Burress on Tuesday and determined that the gunshot wound would keep the receiver sidelined for at least four weeks.

This marks Burress' second suspension of the season, having missed the October 2 game against Seattle after being suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

For the season, Burress has 35 receptions for 454 yards with four touchdowns.

It's been a whirlwind few months for Burress, who signed a contract extension just before the team's season-opener against the Redskins in September. He went on to register 10 catches for 133 yards against Washington, but his numbers have dropped considerably in the face of double teams, his earlier suspension and injury.
