East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - 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 Friday as the Giants prepare for Sunday's game against Oakland. Manning's official status for Sunday's game will updated later Friday. Despite missing the previous two days, Manning had maintained that he felt better each day. 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. |
