He'll be back next week.... they took him out because there really wasn't a point to leave him in there... if hes was seriously injuried; we would know by now.

They were down 10 with 4 minutes left and all 3 time outs.

Screw that. No need for further injury. I had my game sewed up. It was the right move.

I realize that but the Defence had just given up another TD to Romo - I think the coaching staff decided to cut their loses (seeing as the defence couldn't stop anything) and concede the loss.

If they make these kind of decisions based on whether or not their defense is porous, they would have just forfeited the season.

Yes... but do you put your franchise player (who is hurting) back out on the field and risk the rest of the season for the 1st game; or do you pull him and save his ### for the season. I think it was a good call; we have all seen what happens when an injuried player goes back on the field and tries to make something happen... more times than not, its regretable. Remember Chris Simms... bet he wishes he stayed on the bench.

Haven't seen this anywhere so far - everything I have seen says bruise - if it is worse it is a shame - the kid finally showed glimpses.

I havent seen it anywhere either, but it was on local radio last night.

I knew it had to be somewhat serious, the Giants still had a chance.

Agreed - you don't sit your starting QB at the end of a relatively close game (a shootout, no less)...that right there tells me Eli COULDN'T go back in the game. That said, here's hoping that it's not more than a one- or two-week injury...

Driving into the city today, I heard on our local ESPN affiliate that he was scheduled for an MRI today; but that Manning is confident it's nothing serious. Obviously Manning is no doctor, we'll know more one way or another by later today it seems.

If true, the Giants need to fire Coughlin today. What message does that send to your players? Especially your offense. You basically said "a ten point lead is insurmountable for you chumps"Eli was seriously hurt or he'd have been in there. He may be fine now, they may have been taking additional precautions based on Eli's reaction (for instance, if Eli complained of tingling or weakness or lack of feeling, they would have been fools to put him back out there).Make no mistake - they wanted him ikn the game at that point.

Don't worry, Coughlin won't have his job after this season anyways. Maybe sooner!

We'll see after the MRI.J

In 2004 Chad Pennington landed awkwardly on his arm vs. Buffalo in week 7. It was diagnosed as a "Bruised Shoulder" and he missed the next 3 weeks. He returned thereafter and only after the season did we learn he had a torn rotator's cuff and that began the downward spiral of his career.
Not saying Eli has a torn rotator cuff, but think of it like this:
He landed awkwardly on his elbow which put a lot of stress and impact on his shoulder joint. You bruise something when you get direct impact to an area, not when it is jolted because of direct impact to someplace else.
I don't know how severe the injury is, but I know that it is not a bruised shoulder. And the fact he didn't go back in when that game still could have been won, and the fact he was shaking hands after the game with his left arm and not his right arm leads me to believe that it is more then just a minor injury.

The thing here is that he still played with the shoulder injury. If he did serious damage forget it, especially to the shoulder. But Bo Jackson said he would be back next week too.

I agree.I loathe Coughlin and hate giving him props for anything,KellysHeroes said:
but pulling Manning was the right move, imo.
Eli Manning should ask Brian Griese about his "I can still throw with it" rationale...

Eli Manning's shoulder "appears to be OK," a person familiar with the situation informed Newsday on Monday.
Newsday speculates that Manning should be set to go against the Packers, but may be limited in practice until Friday. Prepare for quite a bit of injury updates this week. Profootballtalk.com passes along an "incredibly unconfirmed rumor" that Manning's injury is much worse.

I dont want to get into the usual PFT bashing here, but WHY BOTHER EVEN TALKING ABOUT a rumor if it is not only unconfirmed, but INCREDIBLY UNCONFIRMED. Why not just say heck, for all we know Eli might be out for the season. Then again he might go next week. In actuality WE REALLY DON'T FREAKING KNOW.
Terribly irresponsible of them and really rather pathetic. Unless you have SOMEthing, don't just speculate and call it news.
Star Ledger reporting it not serious. http://blog.nj.com/ledgergiants/2007/09/ma...likely_tha.html
Lots of conflicting reports here.

The MRI results on Eli Manning are in and the news was about as good as the Giants could have hoped for. He suffered only a sprained right shoulder, according to a league source. No structural damage was detected.
Manning's status for the Giants' game against the Green Bay Packers is uncertain, but the hope is that if he does miss any time it will only be a week or two at most.
The length of his absence may all depend Manning's tolerance for pain and he how he progresses as the week goes along. He will likely be very limited in practice this week, and his status for the Packers game is not likely to be known until right before kickoff.

I don't know the truth on this topic, but weren't you the one who originally posted OUT FOR THE YEAR!!!?You provided no link, so what were you going off of? That's a heck of a statement to post with no link as well. Your posts have been deleted I guess.

If he is indeed healthy, it'll only be a matter of time before he DOES get hurt. With that porous offensive line he's going to look like Carr this season...

Mort just said that he's out for a month w/ a separated shoulder.

Mort reporting Eli out for at least a month with a separated shoulder although the team denies it. No labrum tear however.

ESPN now saying "Out at least a month".
Edit: OK, I'm not the only guy with ESPN on in the office all day.
