Plaxico Burress, who played for the New York Jets last season, told WFAN Radio on Monday Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was hampered last season by a shoulder injury.
↵“He definitely has enough arm,” Burress told WFAN’s Chris Moore on Monday. “He was battling some injuries last year, shoulder-wise that a lot of people didn’t know about … different things like that. But I think he really turned a corner.”
↵Is this the truth or is this just Burress, who still does not have a job after spending 2011 with the Jets, making nice and trying to open a door back to Gang Green?
↵ESPN and WFAN referred in their reports to the fact Sanchez had a shoulder injury in 2010 that was believed to be a slight cartilage tear, but opted against surgery. His was never listed on the injury report with shoulder issues in 2011.
↵Per ESPN, Sanchez completed only five passes longer than 21 yards all season in 2011.
