EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning returned to practice Friday and showed no ill effects of the injured right heel that kept him out the previous two days. Yet the team is still being cautious about his status for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Manning is listed as questionable and coach Tom Coughlin said it will more than likely be a game-time decision whether he will play. ``If the medical people think he can play, then he will play,'' Coughlin said. ``We |

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was back at practice on Friday, testing his injured right foot. Manning missed the past two days of practice after leaving this past Sunday's game against Kansas City. An MRI exam on Monday revealed an injury to the plantar fascia as well as soreness and swelling in the heel/arch area on the bottom of his right foot. According to the team's website, Manning and backup David Carr were splitting reps with the first-team offense Frida |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning returned to practice and showed no ill effects of the injured heel that kept him out of practice for two days. Manning did the regular exercises with the team Friday, and at one point was leading sprints. He has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Although Manning seemed to run a little gingerly, he did the regular stretching and squatting. When practice began, reserve David Carr took the first five snaps with the |

| efense to look,'' Kelly said. ``Just execute the defense. Whatever he calls, just execute.'' It's that showing in the second half against Houston that Oakland is hoping to build on this week when the Raiders travel to New York to play the unbeaten New York Giants. It won't be easy. The Giants are fourth in total offense and sixth in rushing, while the Raiders are 26th defending the run. New York is also the fifth-highest scoring team in the league, averaging 26.8 points a game.

One of three teams without a touchdown rushing, the Chiefs were dominated each of the past two weeks by Philadelphia and the New York Giants. Logically, the Cowboys might be a good chance for them to break through and get a win. Dallas took a 10-0 lead at Denver but wound up losing 17-10 and some critics say the Cowboys have a tendency to self-destruct. ``We can't depend on them to b |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Facing the New York Giants defensive line is a tough enough task for an offensive line in the best of circumstances. The banged-up Oakland Raiders have to do it this week with backups in three of the five spots. Left tackle Mario Henderson views this as a good opportunity to ``go out there and make a name for ourselves.'' Henderson is one of two starters who will be in his usual spot this week, along with right guard Cooper Carlisle. Starting left guard Robert Gallery is out with a |

The Saints have a bye this week, and Bell said he'll be back on the field when New Orleans hosts the New York Giants on Oct. 18. Thomas said he believes the Saints will be well served by having Bell back, even if it reduces his workload. Reggie Bush, who often lines up as a receiver or catches passes out of the backfield, is not likely to be affected as much. |
