MANHATTAN — Apparently hail marys aren't the only thing Giants quarterback Eli Manning is throwing up. 

Big Blue's star sliger is reportedly suffering from a stomach flu and was not able to finish practice Wednesday, just days prior to the team's the NFC champtionship game against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday.

Coach Tom Coughlin told reporters that Manning started practice but left early Wednesday.

"We're hoping it's just a 24-hour bug," Couglin said, according to the Daily News.

Tight end Jake Ballard told the Associated Press that Manning looked ill early Wednesday.

"You could tell he was hurting bad," Ballard said. "He usually toughs things out like that. You could tell he was dragging, and you don't like to see your Pro Bowl quarterback throwing up or feeling like that. Hopefully he's better tomorrow."

However, Manning is not expected to miss Sunday's NFC Championship game in San Francisco.
