A day after hurting the heel in a non-contact injury in a win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Manning walked into the locker room with neither a boot, a crutch nor much evidence of heavy tape on his right foot. The only obvious sign of an injury was a slight limp.

Manning was to have an MRI on his right leg late Monday afternoon.

"I don't think it's nothing to be worried about. It will be getting rid of the soreness," Manning said.

WHEW!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Eli Manning is going to have to play in pain if he wants to continue as the New York Giants quarterback.

Manning was diagnosed with inflamed tissue in his right foot late Monday following an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. It's a problem that usually develops over time and lingers.

ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen first reported the diagnosis.

Team physician Russell Warren told Manning he could play this weekend against the Oakland Raiders if he could tolerate the pain.

"It's not as serious an injury as [the doctor] has seen before, where it's the whole foot that's hurting," Manning said in an interview on ESPN Radio in New York. "It's just kind of a portion of it."

The Giants (4-0) have listed Manning as day to day with the plantar fasciitis, which has caused soreness and swelling in the heel and arch area on the bottom of his foot.

That I did. I knew the Saints would be the beginning of the tough part of the schedule. The Giants could very easily drop to 5-5 if they don't get it together. They get credit for beating the teams they had to beat but now it's time to play with the varsity.
