Although it is widely believed that Daniel Jones (ankle) will be back under center for the New York Giants next game this Sunday in Washington, head coach Pat Shurmur stopped short of writing Eli off for the moment.
Sunday’s win over Miami was likely Eli’s last home start. He could still take the field this Sunday in Washington if Jones is not 100% ready to play.
“No. I think we have two games left to go and we’ll just have to see,” Shurmur said after the Giants defeated Miami, 36-20, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. “Dan is trying to come back from injury and who knows where he’s going to be. As we’ve talked about, the end of last week he was in a boot, at the end of this week he was practicing, but I don’t know how much better he’s going to be.
“There’s a chance that Eli keeps playing. To enjoy a victory like we did today and for him to be a significant part of it should feel really good for him.”
Jones was this close to returning this week, so its very likely we’ve seen the last of Eli and Sunday was his swan song.
