Eli to Practice? Osi on the Bike?

Doesn't Mort owe us an apology? Where does his credibility lie now?

from Art Staple at Newsday.....

TC 'encouraged' by Eli's progress

That's the word from the coach in his press conference that just ended.
Manning will be on the practice field today and do some soft-tossing on the side, as well as stay with his fellow QBs in individual drills. Jared Lorenzen will get the first-team snaps, but TC said much of the swelling is gone from Manning's shoulder and he's reporting far less pain and soreness.

Umenyiora will also be on the field today, riding the stationary bike. TC likes what he sees with Osi too, so much so that Mathias Kiwanuka will stay at LB this week.

K Lawrence Tynes has a strained calf and won't practice. Josh Huston is still a FA and would get "strong, strong consideration" if Tynes can't kick before the end of the week.

DT Barry Cofield (knee) will practice.
Speaking of, practice starts in a few... I'll bring back some eyewitness accounts of Eli standing around."
