Giants in ‘Wait and See’ Mode on Manning’s Heel Injury

While we await any new information about the status of Eli Manning’s injury, here is what he, and head coach Tom Coughlin, were saying after the game:

His initial fear? An injury to his Achilles tendon.“Any time you feel that kind of a little pull or strain, especially down there, you get nervous, you don’t know if it’s an Achilles or something,” Manning said. “It wasn’t that. I kind of knew after a second it wasn’t that. I could stand up, I could still walk around and put some pressure on it. I was more relieved after that.”

Asked if Manning could have continued — the Giants led 27-3 — Tom Coughlin said, “No, not at that point.”

Manning wasn’t as certain. “Depends on the situation,” he said. “I don’t know, maybe.” […]

“We’re going to have to see tomorrow,” Manning said. “I can walk around, I can move around but there is some discomfort. I don’t think it’s awful, I’ve been injured worse before. A lot will be when you wake up in the morning, the first step how it feels.”
