Former Colts QB Jim Sorgi gets roughed up in Giants debut; scheduled for MRI on Thursday

After six seasons backing up Peyton Manning, former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jim Sorgi will now backup his brother Eli this upcoming season as a member of the New York Giants. Sorgi looked impressive during his Giants debut on Monday night against the New York Jets, completing 8 of 15 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns—both to Victor Cruz. Unfortunately, he’s scheduled to undergo a MRI on Thursday on his injured shoulder and ribs after being roughed up by the Jets’ defense. As Manning’s backup in Indy, Sorgi played in 16 games—most of which came from the meaningless games following a playoff clinch. He may no longer be with the Colts, but fans can’t help but wish for the best for their former backup quarterback.
