Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham was added to the injury report with a shoulder injury Friday, but told NFL Network’s Bob Papa that he expects to play against the Eagles.
“I’m good to go,” Manningham said.
The second-year pro is a key part of New York’s four-pronged wide receiver attack that also includes Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks, and Domenik Hixon.
The Giants have got away from their bread and butter running game in short-yardage situations in recent weeks; we suspect they will try to attack Philadelphia on the ground more even with Manningham likely to be available.
He’ll be back in action today without a doubt, and will drop 60% of all passes thrown to him, as usual.
“And then he come back and throw another pass and he drop it.”
Michael Irvin just said on NFL Network that Manningham has just been ruled out
