A little sleep does a body good. It seems as if Eli Manning will make the start Sunday against the Raiders after fully participating in the team’s Saturday morning walkthrough.
From the New York Daily News:
Eli Participates in Saturday Morning Walkthrough
Eli Manning woke up Saturday morning feeling good enough that he participated in the Giants' regular Saturday morning walkthrough at Giants Stadium - yet another sign that he will be good to go against the Raiders Sunday afternoon.
Manning, of course, practiced for the first time this week on Friday, taking about half the snaps with the first-team offense during the Giants' practice. If he had a setback overnight, the Giants probably wouldn't have allowed him to take the field Saturday morning. But, when Tom Coughlin addressed reporters on Friday, he said he would let Manning participate if he had "made some progress overnight."
So the signs continue to be positive that Manning will make his 83rd consecutive start (including playoffs). However, the big clue will still come at 4 p.m. Saturday. That's the deadline for the Giants to promote rookie quarterback Rhett Bomar off the practice squad. If they don't, that means they are preparing to go into the game with only two quarterbacks - Manning and David Carr - on the 53-man active roster.
