Rookie , who has yet to be made active for a game,., the right time to do that probably isn't a Daniel Norris Jersey  week after an arrest. As CBS Sports Insider Jason La Canfora wrote, "Lauletta's arrest may serve to push back the proce s of getting him more first-string practice reps coming out of the bye, (but) it is difficult to see a scenario where Manning plays out the season."That leaves Manning as right now."I told him he's starting Monday," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said, per ESPN. "You guys roll with it how you want with the idea that he's going to get us on a run here. There will be no decision to make. Part of the conversation was, 'We trust you, Christin Stewart Jersey  we want to work with you and we trust the fact that you're going to get in there and help us win football games.'"To this point, that hasn't happened. The Giants are 1-7. Manning, playing behind a bad offensive line, has thrown only eight touchdowns.

"The team is ready to get to work and treat it like any other week. My preparation doesn't change. This team's preparation doesn't change, and we're excited to keep things going."The game might not matter much in terms of Spencer Turnbull Jersey  this season, but it will impact the draft order. The one-win Giants hold the advantage over the 49ers, but a 49ers lo s would even them up. As of now,   Who would've thought Eli Manning would ever be an underdog against Nick Mullens?
