In a sure sign that he’s pretty close to playing on Sunday afternoon, Eli Manning didn’t just throw on the side at practice today. He took about half of the first-team snaps during the team drills.

 

That bit of information came from his would-be replacement, Jared Lorenzen, who was among the many in the locker room today trumpeting how good Manning looked. The consensus seems to be that it will now be a surprise if Manning doesn’t play against the Packers.

 

Tom Coughlin, though, remained tight-lipped and would only say that a decision likely won’t be made until just before kickoff.

I still hope that Lorenzen gets to play some if Eli gets to play.
