It’s time for Eli Manning to shake off that rust.
New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday that starting quarterback Daniel Jones did not participate in Wednesday’s practice and is wearing a protective walking boot as he recovers from a “moderate” right ankle sprain suffered Sunday against the Packers.
Shurmur told reporters that the injury is not as severe as what Saquon Barkley dealt with earlier in the season, sidelining the running back for three games, but Jones’ recovery is expected to take weeks, not days.
That means we can expect to see Eli Manning back in the saddle on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran quarterback hasn’t seen a snap since his Week 2 loss to the Bills.
