mastershake Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4697862 Compensating for the plantar fasciitis he battled for much of this season, New York quarterback Eli Manning has developed a stress reaction in his right foot that could be even more problematic for the Giants, according to sources close to the situation. A recent MRI on Manning's foot revealed the stress reaction in the cuboid bone, which makes Manning susceptible to a stress fracture that could end his 2009 season. Before any stress fracture develops, the Giants are aggressively treating the stress reaction, trying to get Manning to stay off it as much as possible, having him wear extra supportive shoes and using a bone stimulator on the injured area. For now, the stress reaction is not enough to sideline Manning. But Manning has been spotted favoring the foot, which he was doing as recently as Thursday night, when he was seen limping at times. After consulting with other foot specialists in recent weeks, the Giants are not surprised -- they had come to expect that the plantar fasciitis could lead to the stress reaction. Manning was able to play Thursday night at Denver, where he completed 24-of-40 passes for 230 yards and one interception during the Giants' 26-6 loss to the Broncos. More than anything, the stress reaction provides another glimpse as to what Manning has had to endure this season. He started the season with plantar fasciitis, later aggravated the injury, and then developed a stress reaction in his foot. It is hardly the only reason for his recent struggles, but it certainly has not helped. The Giants believe Manning is recovered from the plantar fasciitis and it no longer is an issue. Even with the stress reaction, the Giants have been in compliance on the NFL's injury report, continually listing Manning with a "foot" injury. Adam Schefter is ESPN's NFL Insider.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Carr should have been playing against the scrubs teams all the way. Eli should have been sitting down for 2-3 games period. One thing I hate about the Giants is that they expect guys to play through injuries too much or they rush cats back in before they are fully ready.

fringe Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Signs of a team in decline. They start leaking that the injuries which were "not an excuse" are indeed an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 He's got some time before the Cowboys game. Lose that game, and the season is pretty much over anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I actually would like to see Carr in there for a couple games. Except for the Cowboys, Eli plays great against them. But to rest him, Id do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I would say only take Eli out if the season is lost.........he has 6 months then to rehabilitate the foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
