Eli Manning went to the bench after losing to the Bills.
Most of his receivers from that Week 2 game went to special teams … or injured reserve … or free agency.
The Giants expect to have their four established weapons — Saquon Barkley, Golden Tate, Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard — on the field together for the first time all season Monday against the Eagles. Add in rookie leading receiver Darius Slayton, who still was awaiting his NFL debut when Manning last played.
Maybe it is a Christmas gift — or an early retirement gift — for Manning, who is starting in place of injured rookie Daniel Jones.
