hope this isn't serious...

On Monday, under mostly cloudy skies, Eli Manning's summer camp training came to an end. It is very likely that his preseason is over as well. There is even a trace of doubt about whether he will be ready for the Giants' regular-season opener Sept. 11.

Manning spent Monday's practice watching from the sideline, a forlorn expression on his face. Wearing his No. 10 jersey, he was no more active than the dozens of fans also watching practice who also wore the newly popular No. 10 Giants jersey. Tim Hasselbeck took Manning's place quarterbacking the first-team offense.

Manning's sprained right elbow is serious enough that he will be sidelined for the next week, including Friday's preseason game against the Jets. He may be out longer, taking a two-game layoff into the Giants' opener against Arizona, if he is even ready to play then.
