(TheHuddle) New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he suffered no major ill effects after having a three-inch gash opened on his forehead in the team's preseason game Monday, Aug. 16, according to Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger. "I feel fine," Manning said, "I feel normal." The Giants confirmed Manning's self-diagnosis by saying he showed no signs of a concussion and that X-rays were negative. Twelve stitches were needed to close the gash and Manning was sent home by the medical staff. "The play was my fault," Manning said of his collision with RB Brandon Jacobs, who appeared to be ready to take a handoff. "We had a run play with an option to throw a fade that I thought I might try, but Brandon was coming right up the middle."
Analysis: Eli has already been stitched up, and there's no reason to think the injury will impact his readiness for the start of the regular season.
