Wide receiver Plaxico Burress is set for shoulder surgery today to repair a torn rotator cuff he sustained in practice Thursday.

Having surgery is no fun. But it's especially brutal news for Plax.

Why?

Today is his 36th birthday.

Burress was hoping to make the team as a 5th receiver.

He missed the entire 2009 and 2010 seasons while serving prison time in on a weapons possession charge. 

Obviously Plax has been through a lot, so we wish him the best - and a happy birthday.
