Loading ...Just when you think things cannot get any worse for the NewYork Giants, reality rears its ugly head and it does.
According to ESPN,a recent MRI on Eli Manning‘s footrevealed what’s being called a “stress reaction“on his cuboid bone…a new injury that makes Manning susceptible to a stressfracture that would almost certainly end his 2009 season.
The report went on to state that Easy E has been seenfavoring the foot as recently as Thursday night, but added that Giants’officials are not surprised and were well aware that his plantar fasciitiscould lead to a stress reaction.
In an effort to prevent a stress fracture, Big Blue’s medicalstaff has been feverishly treating Manning, trying to keep him off his feet asmuch as possible and using a bone stimulator on the affected area.
Should Manning eventually suffer a stress fracture, it’slikely that David Carr would step inas New York’s starting quarterback.

FF55 – it would have covered up some of it. But the lack of pressure isn’t coming from KP injury, and his absence alone isn’t making the secondary cover up like a prostitute on a street corner.Some of this is that the depth just isn’t what we thought it was. This team isn’t as deep as previously thought. And some of the starters aren’t playing like expected (Oline, Dline) and those are the key to most teams.And lets say for the sake of argument that hte most reasonable, simple, and likely explanation for Goff & Kehl not starting is the right one – that the coaches don’t see enough in practice to think he’ll do it in a game. Then I’m not sure what the answer is. Just plugging in a guy you’re 75% sure will fail isn’t the answer. What do you do then … start Blackburn again? How do you do that?If Coughlin really were keeping good players on the bench, the NFL would see Giant bench players on starting rosters doing very well. Outside Shaincoe, They aren’t.

By the by… who on this team makes the pro bowl?
I would like to point out that I have a stress reaction to the god awful giants game this week as well… and I am sure that 90% of this board does too…
