Giants WR Manningham is questionable for Sunday game after missing practice

For hurting the shoulder during Thursday practice, the New York Giants receiver Mario Manningham was held out of Friday’s practice and listed questionable for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Manningham hurt the shoulder on the final play of practice on Thursday and was held out of the team’s final workout for Sunday’s game as a precaution.

“They thought it was better if he just not work today,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “So I’m going to list him as questionable, but hopefully he will make it.”

Manningham said that he was all right to play on Sunday. Having started six of seven games this season, the receiver has caught 28 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns. The Giants would be glad if he could play in good condition on Sunday. But if he could not, they will have to choose a starter from Domenik Hixon and Hakeem Nicks, who is in his first year of wearing NFL jersey and has caught touchdowns in four straight games.
