Rookie Daniel Jones is returning as the Giants starting quarterback after missing two weeks with an ankle injury.
“Barring anything crazy, he’ll start and Eli [Manning] will back him up,” coach Pat Shurmur said.
Jones again replaces two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, who had returned to the starting lineup with Jones sidelined.
Manning is in the final year of his contract, so the decision to start Jones Sunday against the Washington Redskins might signal the end of his 16-year career with the Giants.
