Six years ago, Eli Manning suffered a torn plantar fascia in his foot and gutted out the 2009 season with the injury. So the Giants quarterback understands just a little bit what his big brother, Peyton Manning, is enduring right now.
The Broncos QB has a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot and is going to sit out Denver's next game, against the Bears.
"Mine was a full tear," Eli Manning said. "I don't know what a partial tear feels like. I talked to him a little bit about it. Hopefully he'll figure out a way to feel as good as he can and get a plan for getting back to playing the way he knows how to play.
