They were chosen one year and two dozen NFL draft spots apart, so in some ways there is little that ties together the pro careers of the New York Giants' Eli Manning and the Washington Redskins' Jason Campbell. Everything, from contract to expectations to timetable for success, is different for a quarterback drafted first overall than one drafted 25th.

Even so, they compete in the same unyielding division, and they will share a field today in Landover as the Redskins (7-4) try to draw a game closer to the first-place Giants (10-1) in the NFC East. And now that Manning is the quarterback of the defending Super Bowl champions and the on-field leader of the sport's most imposing team this season, he has become the standard by which the progress of other developing players at the position -- like Campbell -- can be measured.

New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress was released from a New York hospital yesterday after suffering a leg wound in a shooting Friday, according to the Giants.

The Giants indicated in the statement that they were gathering facts about the incident and had been in contact with NFL security officials, and added that the shooting 'could become a matter for law enforcement officials.'
