NFC East News: Eli Manning to start at QB vs. Eagles as Giants rule out Daniel Jones

Eli Manning to start vs. Eagles as Giants rule out Daniel Jones

The Philadelphia Eagles start a four-game stretch of consecutive NFC East games that will determine their postseason fate. For the Birds it’s simple: win four in a row, and you’re in.

They’ll face a familiar face on Monday night, as the Giants announced that Eli Manning will start in place of an injured Daniel Jones.

Jones has 18 touchdown passes with 11 interceptions and would have faced an embattled secondary with all of his weapons available. Jones’ mobility would have likely presented an interesting scenario, as his ability to get outside the pocket could have proven valuable with skill players such as Golden Tate, and Sterling Shephard both available to play.
