EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- An unapologetic Plaxico Burress rejoined the New York Giants on Monday, noting he didn't lose any sleep after the Super Bowl champions suspended him for a game.
Burress missed a team meeting two weeks ago without bothering to telephone the Giants but sounded ready to put the suspension behind him.
"Why would there be any hard feelings? It was a decision that they chose to make, and I was fine with it," he said. "They feel that they needed to do that, so I took it with a grain of salt and kept on moving."
Coach Tom Coughlin said he expected Burress to start in next Monday night's game at Cleveland.
"That is something I hadn't really thought about or discussed," Coughlin said Monday. "I should have anticipated it. But I would say right now, yes."
Coughlin said that Burress was told to report back early Monday morning.
"He exercised with his teammates; he ran and he did the things that he was supposed to do," Coughlin said.
The receiver who caught the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl attributed his absence Sept. 22 to a family emergency, which he described as having to take his son to school.
"It was just a situation I had to deal with that morning, and I made the right decision," Burress said during a conference call that lasted about 20 minutes. "I don't have any regrets about the decision I made at all."
Burress said that family would still come first next time but that he would make sure he made a telephone call to let the Giants know about the problem.
