Giants' Eli Manning to start again as Daniel Jones deals with ankle sprain

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones is not expected to play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, per source. Eli Manning will take his place and make at least one more home start.

Jones returned to practice this week in a limited capacity, but needs more time with the high ankle sprain he suffered two weeks ago in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. Coach Pat Shurmur said at the time the injury was similar to what running back Saquon Barkley dealt with earlier this season. Barkley missed three games and returned after the bye week.
