Eli Manning is “very likely” to be the starting quarterback for the New York Giants on Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Giants coach Pat Shurmur. That is because Daniel Jones has a mild high-ankle sprain and is in a walking boot.
Jones was injured Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. He continued and finished the game, though he was limping at times.
Shurmur had said on Monday that he thought Jones was “fine” and that he expected the quarterback to practice as usual this week.
Per a variety of reports, Jones went for an MRI that revealed the extent of the injury after Shurmur’s Monday remarks.
