The news that Eli Manning could be one bad step away from a premature end to his season may have been shocking to everyone else, but it wasn’t anything new to him. He’s been dealing with that possibility for the last month.
Manning wasn’t worried then. And he isn’t worried now. “I’m not overly concerned with it,” Manning said after the Giants got back to work Monday morning. “Obviously this is kind of new news to you all, but I’ve been playing with it for four weeks. It’s not something that is truly annoying me or bothering me and I don’t feel like it is affecting my performance on the field.”
The Giants’ $106.9 million quarterback added that he’s “not concerned” that the “stress reaction” discovered in his right foot during the bye week could turn into a season-ending stress fracture – a possibility, but not a guarantee, according to a doctor familiar with that type of injury. Manning said he’s not worried about his foot getting worse, even though he conceded “time and rest is probably the biggest thing” his injury needs.
“Having this past weekend to rest it is helpful,” said Manning, who is expected to start for the Giants (6-5) on Sunday against the Cowboys (8-3). “It’s not something that I think will linger or bother me.”
