The New York Giants will face the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on Sunday and Eli Manning will be their starting quarterback.
Rookie Daniel Jones (high ankle sprain) has been ruled out again. Head coach Pat Shurmur told reporter today that Sunday may not be Eli’s last game as the team’s starter. He could end up finishing out the season for the Giants if Jones takes the full four weeks to recover from his injury.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Shurmur said when asked if Jones could come back next week. “All I know is, Eli’s starting this game against Miami. Then we’ll play it out from there.”
There is no need to rush Jones back from the high ankle sprain as the Giants are 2-11 and going nowhere. It also gives Giant fans a chance to give Eli a proper sendoff. The Giants have one more home game after this one, versus the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Also ruled out for the Giants this week are tight end Evan Engram (foot), right guard Kevin Zeitler (ankle/wrist) and tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion).
