The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Manning would not say why or what he received X-rays on after Sunday's loss to the Jets, but he did want everyone to know that he was fine and would not miss a start. Manning never does. On Monday, HC Tom Coughlin provided some context to the situation, noting that Manning received X-rays on his ankle.
Diehards Line:
Manning finished the game without issue and did not appear to be walking with a significant limp following the game. Manning attempted a rare, out-of-pocket scramble late in Sunday's game, which raised some alarms given the hard hit he took. But as the Giants' iron man, Manning almost always makes it to practice the next day. It sounds like this will remain the case as the Giants try and sort themselves out. The bad news for Manning is that rookie left tackle Ereck Flowers (high ankle) is still on crutches, according to Coughlin. As is tradition, Manning is now dealing with some unrecognizable version of his offensive line which can hopefully keep him out of the X-ray room in the future.
