Manning (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Recommendation: Manning says his recent struggles are unrelated to his foot injury. That's both good and bad; it's nice to not worry about the foot injury, but it's troubling that Manning is playing so poorly while feeling healthy.

QB Eli Manning is going to be under the microscope this week in practice. During the losing streak he has played some of his worst ball in terms of decision making and passing accuracy. Manning continues to insist that his ailing foot has not affected his mechanics, but his play has told a different story. There have clearly been times when he has not stepped into his throws and instead has tried to overcompensate for the foot by putting a bit more zip on his passes."That could be," said head coach Tom Coughlin when asked if Manning has been "arm-throwing" at times rather than stepping into his throws. "I've seen that a couple of times on the practice field." While Manning did admit earlier this week that some of his high passes could be the result of him not stepping into the pass enough, he again dismissed the idea that his foot was to blame, instead offering other reasons such as trying to put the ball into tight positions.
