Peyton isn’t the only Manning to deal with torn plantar fascia. Eli Manning fully tore the plantar fascia in his right foot in 2009, with his Giants 4-0 at the time. His options then were simple: play through the pain or don’t play at all.
Eli took the first option and played all 16 games, but the Giants finish 8-8 and Eli recently said he need “a few weeks” to heal.
The difference: Eli fully tore his plantar fascia, which sounds worse but is actually less painful than the partially torn plantar fascia Peyton is dealing with in his left foot.
