Eli Manning is on the New York Giants' injury report for the first time in more than two years and seems to be embarrassed by it.

He says it's a formality and he practiced as usual on Wednesday.

The Giants reported that Manning had a back injury, marking the first time the 33-year-old quarterback has been on the list since developing a stomach bug a couple days before the NFC Championship Game against San Francisco in January 2012.

But Eli didn't seem to believe he should be:

Manning, who has started 164 straight games -- NFL's longest active streak -- said his inclusion was to comply with the NFL's rules on reporting injuries.

Manning spent a little extra time in the trainer's room following the Giants 36-7 win over Tennessee Sunday. He says he's not hurt and took the majority of snaps at practice for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.
