NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 10th) Eli Manning still questionable, Jerricho Cotchery not a lock for Monday Night, and more

(Cotchery’s hamstring could keep him out.) Eli Manning Participates in Saturday Practice This just means he would probably play if he absolutely had to. But since the rush attack is operating smoothly, the defense is competing at an elite level, and they’re facing the Oakland Raiders, there isn’t much sense in rushing Manning back. Still, [...]
