Giants Will Start QB Eli Manning On Sunday After Injury To Daniel Jones

December 4, 2019

The New York Giants will likely start Eli Manning at quarterback on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Rookie signal-caller Daniel Jones is in a walking boot after suffering a “moderate” high-ankle sprain in Week 13’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, coach Pat Shurmur announced Wednesday.

Daniel Jones in a boot + has moderate high ankle sprain, per Pat Shurmur. He couldn’t play if Giants had game today. Shurmur compared it to what Saquon Barkley had, slightly less severe. Barkley missed three games. So get ready for the return of Eli Manning on Monday vs Eagles.

Here’s the play where the injury occurred:

Manning was benched for Jones back in Week 3.
