Although the New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is expected to start his 83rd consecutive games this Sunday, Manning himself did not want to guarantee that he will play against the Oakland Raiders, saying that he would choose to stay out if he could not help the team.
“If I feel like I can go out and play at a high level and help the team and do everything I can do, and they don’t have to limit the game plan or say you can’t do this or that, I’ll go out there and play,” Manning said. “I’m not going to do anything that will put myself in harm for making this worse down the road.”
Manning was held out of practice Wednesday so he can get treatment on his plantar fascia, a band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot and inserts into the heel. The quarterback admitted that he had never had pain like he felt in the fourth quarter last Sunday, although the heel has bothered him occasionally the last few weeks.
Even the team’s medical staff cannot tell whether Manning could be able to play this weekend. So the team may have to adjust game plan. And Manning had the most basic treatment Wednesday and planned to have some practice this week.
