MANHATTAN — The Giants' big Mann is back.

New York's star quarterback Eli Manning, who missed practice Wednesday with a stomach flu, was back on the field Thursday as Big Blue prepares for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to the Associated Press.

"Eli is in the building today and will return to @Giants practice! #ALLIN," the team tweeted Thursday morning.

Manning missed Wednesday's practice after feeling sick.

The Giants will play on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. for a shot to play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. They lost to the 49ers, 27-20, in San Francisco earlier in the season.
