Embattled Giant Plaxico Burress' teammate Antonio Pierce will play ball - with prosecutors. The linebacker will cooperate and testify before a Manhattan grand jury about how Burress clumsily shot himself in the leg at a nightclub, The Post has learned.
Pierce's testimony should guarantee an indictment against Super Bowl hero Burress for felony weapon possession - but at the same time, give Pierce a pass on charges of hiding the wide receiver's .40-caliber Glock pistol after the shooting.
It was Pierce who drove the wounded Burress to New York-Cornell hospital early Saturday. Then Pierce drove his own SUV, with the unlicensed Glock in the glove compartment, home to Totowa, NJ, sources say.
Burress' wife, Tiffany, who went to the hospital after the shooting, retrieved the Glock the following day from Pierce's residence and brought it to the Burress home, also in Totowa, where investigators retrieved it, sources say.
