EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning started but did not finish practice because of illness.

Manning was listed as going through a limited practice because of what coach Tom Coughlin called "a stomach bug."

"Hopefully it is just a 24-hour deal and he will feel better tomorrow," Coughlin said.

Manning remained at the practice facility despite not being able to finish practice.

Backup quarterback David Carr estimated that he took 75 percent of the snaps with Manning ill. Still, the Giants were not worried about their quarterback or whether illness would affect his preparation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against San Francisco.

"I didn't really notice he was sick when we were in the meetings this morning," Carr said. "That's a good sign. He was in there plugging away and he charged through it for a couple hours this morning and then we went out to practice, and I guess he wasn't feeling well."
