Update:
The Giants officially announced that QB Daniel Jones is out for Week 15 and Eli Manning will draw the start.
Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that Giants rookie QB Daniel Jones is not expected to play in Week 15’s game against the Dolphins, which means Eli Manning will draw at least one more start.
Jones was able to return to practice this week in a limited capacity, but still needs more time to recover from his high ankle sprain.
Jones had been in a walking boot until Monday, but he says he’s feeling “good” even though he “wouldn’t say it’s all the way there.”
Manning, 38, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2004. He was traded to the Giants during the draft and has spent all 14 years of his career in New York.
Manning is entering the final year of his five-year, $101.5 million contract that included $65 million guaranteed and stands to make a base salary of $11.5 million for the 2019 season.
In 2019, Manning has appeared in three games and completed 59.7 percent of his passes for 759 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.
