Plaxico Burress to start for Jets on Sunday

After missing the past week with a ankle injury, Plaxico Burress is ready to rock and roll in his first game back in the NFL since being released from jail for illegal gun possession.

Burress hasn't played in a game in 1,001 days, his last game coming in 2008 when the Giants took on the Baltimore Ravens at the old Giants Stadium. For Burress it has been a long time coming - a moment he has waited for for over two years.

He always says that he's a changed man, and believes he can be the player he once was with the Giants from 2005 - 2008.

Burress finally practiced this week with Gang Green, even making a few acrobatic catches along the way -- now it is time to take the wrapping of the Jets big free agent prize.

The Jets play host to the Bengals at 7 pm on Sunday.
