Injury Not On Manning’s Mind

Eli Manning said today that the “stress reaction” foot injury isn’t anything that he’s worried about:

So Monday, when Manning told reporters on a conference call his latest foot injury “isn’t something that I think will linger or bother me,” consider his track record.

“When I go out there, I’m not thinking about it,” said the Giants’ quarterback. “When I’m playing the games, I’m not thinking about it and worrying about it.”

Manning did admit he’s been affected in at least one area.

“When you have to go to the training room and get treatment, it just kind of throws your schedule out of whack,” he said, adding: “I’m a guy that doesn’t like to be in the training room and I try to avoid it as much as possible. I only go in there when I truly need it.
“That’s been probably the biggest annoyance – just trying to deal with it.”

Manning’s injury is still being monitored, as some believe it could end his season.
