Go Figure: Plaxico Burress Replacement Shot

On the upside, he apparently didn't shoot himself.

Giants receiver Taye Biddle is recovering from gunshot wounds to his hand and leg after being shot while visiting family in his hometown.

Decatur police said in a statement Thursday that Biddle was shot Sunday night outside a residence and was treated and released from a local hospital. Police said there was no evidence Biddle caused or provoked the shooting.

Police have not made any arrests in the case and have not released a possible motive for the shooting.

"He had surgery on his hand today," Biddle's friend, Bruce Jones, told The Decatur Daily on Thursday. "He told me his leg is OK, and he ought to be fine."

Biddle was promoted from the Giants' practice squad after receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg last November.
