| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start the team's game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Manning, who suffered a contusion to the AC joint in his right shoulder during New York's 45-35 season-opening loss to Dallas, managed to get back on the practice field late in the week and showed enough to be named the starter. Manning had one of his best games as a professional against the Cowboys. The former Ole Miss star threw for 312 yards with four touchdowns b |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Eli Manning will start at quarterback for the New York Giants against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday after bruising his shoulder a week ago. Manning's status had been uncertain because of his injury against Dallas last Sunday. The Giants announced about an hour before gametime there would be no changes to their starting lineup, meaning Manning would start his 41st consecutive regular-season game. Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora also was in the lineup after bruising a knee i |

| (MySportsbook) - The New York Giants are trying to solve the mystery that is Eli Manning's shoulder. With or without its starting quarterback, New York will try for its first win of the season on Sunday in its home opener against the Green Bay Packers at Giants Stadium. The Giants fell to the Cowboys, 45-35, last Sunday night in Dallas, but lost more than the game. Starting running back Brandon Jacobs and defensive end Osi Umenyiora both left the contest with knee injuries and did not return. Jacobs will miss |

To a man, the Eagles insist they're over last week's 16-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers and the two special teams miscues that contributed to their 0-1 start.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Hoping to get back two injured starters on offense this week, the Green Bay Packers got some discouraging news on Thursday. Running back Vernand Morency's knee injury flared up, and wide receiver Greg Jennings still had some soreness in his hamstring. The lingering injury issues left both players' availability in doubt going into the Packers' road game against the New York Giants on Sunday. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Morency, who hurt his knee on the first day of training camp |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -While the Green Bay Packers have been guessing whether quarterback Eli Manning will be playing against them this weekend, the New York Giants have never had a doubt about whom they will be facing. It's been a given in Green Bay since the third game of the 1992 season. Play the Packers and you go against Brett Favre. Favre will start his 239th straight game and play in his 241st consecutive overall on Sunday when the Packers (1-0) play the Giants (0-1) in what could be New York' |

Manning did not practice and coach Tom Coughlin gave no indication whether he would play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. ``I am encouraged by his progress,'' Coughlin said. ``He is less sore than he was the day before, that kind of thing. The swelling is way down. So I'm encouraged by that.'' Manning was not available for comment in the locker room after practice |
