October 27, 2008 New York Giants Injury Report – Dockery to Miss Two Weeks: CB Kevin Dockery injured his back late in the second quarter in the game against the Steelers. He did not return. The Giants revealed yesterday that Dockery has a fractured transverse process in his back and will likely miss about two weeks.
“He will probably be out, hopefully no more than two weeks,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “But I’m not sure on that one. It is a transverse process fracture, which is similar to what (linebacker Jonathan) Goff had; but only one. So we shall see.”
LB Bryan Kehl injured his toe. “Bryan Kehl has a toe that was bothering him (Monday) morning,” said Coughlin. “They have to get the swelling down with regard to that.”
LB Gerris Wilkinson (knee) will likely miss at least one more week.

Notes: Steelers’ DE Brett Keisel said he overheard QB Eli Manning calling the play on the 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line in the second quarter. “I was watching Eli’s lips the whole time and I saw him say, ’32,’ so I went over and tried to tell everyone, ‘It’s right here,’ and we stopped it,” Keisel said.
The Giants ended the Steelers’ interconference home game winning streak at nine.
Manning and the Giants are 20-5 in their last 25 games, including the playoffs.
Manning’s record as a starting quarterback in October is 14-2.
