EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress is done for the year.

The Giants fined and suspended Burress on Tuesday after he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh over the weekend at a Manhattan nightclub.

The wide receiver was charged with illegal weapons possession Monday, and on Tuesday the Giants placed him on the reserve non-football injury list.
