After such dire injury news coming out of their loss in Dallas, the Giants are likely to receive welcome recovery news this afternoon with the appearances on the field of Eli Manning and Osi Umenyiora for the home opener against the Packers.
Manning (contusion of the right A-C joint) probably will start after testing his right shoulder all week. Umenyiora (irritation of the lateral meniscus, left knee) is probable despite earlier, non team-issued reports that he’d be out for several weeks.
