A day after ESPN reported that he's playing with a "stress reaction" in his foot, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning downplayed his foot injury, reports Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger.
“It makes me frustrated because it’s kind of one thing leads to another,” Manning said on a Monday conference call with reporters. “When you have to go to the training room and get treatment, it just kind of throws your schedule out of whack. You have to get there early in the morning and stay after. Things that I normally do, it just kind of pushes everything back. It throws your normal schedule (off).
“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.”
As Garafolo notes, Manning's poor performance against Denver on Thursday night came on the heels of two of his best two performances of the season, which saw him complete 50-of-72 passes for 599 yards and 5 touchdowns, suggesting that this injury--which he's had for weeks--hasn't impacted his play on the field.
