Published 9/11/2007 by Jim Jacobs at Giant Football Blog
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has a slightly separated shoulder which is expected to keep him out at least a month, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Monday. Doctors told the team that Manning does not need surgery, but the quarterback will get a second opinion from orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.

Zombie Coughlin sadly is no better of a coach than Un-Undead Coughlin and now he's lost his # 1 QB and #1 RB for the first portion of the season. Tiki Barber...YOU MADE THE RIGHT CALL! ...

Chris Mortensen said he had a partially separated shoulder and would miss “about a month.” Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning both outright denied Mort’s contention and said he’s “day to day.” Yet, curiously, Manning is heading to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion. ...

... - On the flip side, Ole Miss alum Eli Manning is going to miss the first start(s) of his career. Eli's out for at least a month with a "slightly separated shoulder." He is seeking a second opinion from Uber-Ortho, James Andrews here in The Ham. This really blows, cause Eli looked great in the opener. I was looking forward to Eli shutting up all those critical yankee a-holes. I guess that's an impossible feat though (they hate freakin' A-Rod). ...

Giants dead man walking Tom Coughlin hasn't announced a starter for Sunday's game against the Packers yet, but it seems pretty likely, in the wake of Eli Manning's partially separated shoulder, that Jared Lorenzen is gonna take snaps for the NYG next week.

... Was it my imagination or did most of the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens get hurt in their openers? The Giants appear to be the early leader in the clubhouse for waving the white flag of surrender on the 2007 season after Eli Manning was turned into a human slinky during the second half of the shootout with the Cowboys. Toss top defender Osi Umenyiora and newly-minted starting RB Brandon Jacobs on the scrap heap for awhile also. Michael Strahan thought he was getting out of extra work skipping HC Tom Coughlin's military-like training camp...wait until he finds out Tom is planning on playing him both ways this weekend against the Packers. If Ray Lewis and Steve McNair are as hurt as they looked Monday night, the Ravens could be grounded this year. ...

The idea that you do not trade in rumors has virtually gone by the wayside in this form of journalism.”Really? Blogs really "pressure" ESPN to make premature claims? Or is it the fact that Chris Mortensen is just guessing and no one has called him out on it until now??? I also don't understand this whole rumors thing. That's just what they are....rumors. Someone has a source, they report it, and it's either proven wrong or right. ...

Throw in an “I’m going to have to watch the tape” answer on Pennington’s performance and a non-answer on Mort’s report (who’s sources aren’t always accurate, mind you) about the ’short-leash’ and you have a press conference from Mangini that might be unparalelled for the amount of emotion during the presser. Mangini has another presser today at 2:35PM EDT so we’ll see if he has any big announcements from here. ...

... Still a baby-faced twenty-seven-year-old, Manning, too, knows a thing or two about playing with a separated shoulder. Through four seasons as the Giants starter he has proven himself to be one of the most durable quarterbacks in the league, having not missed a single start in that span despite being sacked ninety-three times. But unlike Conerly, whose stare was possessed of an intensity that could melt a glacier, Eli's going to have to work a bit on selling his " ...
