CHANDLER, Ariz. - Super Bowl fever isn't the only thing hitting the Giants.
Rookie cornerback Aaron Ross became the sixth Giant in the last eight days to be struck with flu-like symptoms. He joins a list that includes Michael Strahan, fullback Madison Hedgecock, safety Michael Johnson, defensive tackle Manny Wright and kicker Lawrence Tynes.
"I hope that's the end of it," Tom Coughlin said. "We've had some guys who missed practice with high temperatures. We've also had a few guys whose symptoms weren't as severe.
"We have taken precautions. The medical people have done the best they can to distribute some medicine, if you will, in advance of the plane trip out there. Hopefully the guys are rested enough that this will not be an issue."
It's not clear what sparked the breakout, but some players believe it came from the NFC Championship Game that was played in wind chills of minus-24 degrees.
"Everybody was sick after that game," said Plaxico Burress. "My throat was killing me for two days straight after breathing that cold air."
