Eli Manning and the Giants are at the mercy of Daniel Jones’ ankle

Derek Jeter’s storybook finish — a walk-off hit in his final game at Yankee Stadium — was followed by four forgettable at-bats during two meaningless games against the Red Sox to close his final season.

Is Eli Manning going to follow his near-perfect Giants goodbye by starting at the Redskins, in a game both rivals might be better served by losing to secure the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft?

Well, that depends on rookie quarterback Daniel Jones’ high ankle sprain.

Coach Pat Shurmur calls Jones a “fast healer” but still wouldn’t commit to him as the starter Sunday, leaving open the possibility Manning might not have made his final start.
