East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning missed his second straight day of practice because of a foot injury that could keep him out of Sunday's game against Oakland. Manning also sat out Wednesday's practice because of the problem, which he sustained during last week'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. Despite missing practice, Manning has maintained that he is feeling better each day. He could be a game-time decision for Sunday. David Carr took the reps with the first team in practice Thursday and would get the start against the Raiders if Manning is unable to play. Manning has completed 63.2 percent of his passes for 1,039 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions for the 4-0 Giants this season. His 104.1 passer rating ranks third in the NFC behind Drew Brees of New Orleans and Minnesota's Brett Favre. |
