Giants quarterback Eli Manning has responded well after playing on his injured heel Sunday, but coach Tom Coughlin said he would limit the quarterback's snaps during today's practice.
"We’ll take care of that,” Coughlin told reporters Wednesday. “Whatever we think is necessary he’ll take. … We’ll manage him just like we manage anyone. We’re calling him limited only because he’s going to take ‘X’ amount of snaps and he’s going to take the ones we think are most important for him. Hopefully, we can build up as we go along. He might take ‘X’ amount of snaps today and a little bit more tomorrow and a little bit more on Friday.”Coughlin said that Manning had not suffered any setbacks since Sunday's win over the Raiders, but the Giants are obviously going to be very cautious with his injury in non-game situations.
I think it says a lot about Manning that his teammates never doubted that he was going to play against the Raiders. I think we all believe the Giants could've won that game with David Carr, but Manning knows how important it is for his teammates to see him on the field.
