ESPN is reporting that a recent MRI has revealed a “stress reaction” in Eli Manning’s cuboid bone. While not something that would keep him from playing on its own, it could lead to a season-ending stress fracture if more injuries are sustained.
Eli Manning Has “Stress Reaction” In Foot, According To Sources
Before any stress fracture develops, the Giants are aggressively treating the stress reaction, trying to get Manning to stay off it as much as possible, having him wear extra supportive shoes and using a bone stimulator on the injured area.
For now, the stress reaction is not enough to sideline Manning. But Manning has been spotted favoring the foot, which he was doing as recently as Thursday night, when he was seen limping at times.
Manning has been dealing with foot issues all season long. He dealt with plantar fasciitis when the season started and aggravated the injury as the season went on. Playing through the injury, Manning was 24-of-40 for 230 yards and an interception in Thursday night’s 26-6 loss in Denver.
