New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning took half the snaps in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Asked if he was encouraged by Manning's performance in practice, coach Tom Coughlin responded, "Absolutely."
Backup quarterback David Carr offered a pretty encouraging assessment of how Manning looked in practice.
"His mechanics looked good; it wasn’t like he was favoring it or anything," Carr said. "I think that was by design for him. I don’t think he wanted to come out [Thursday] or the day before and just not look right. I think that would have been disheartening for everybody, including himself."
If Manning's heel responds favorably to today's practice, I think he'll play Sunday.
