So this is how it ends for Eli Manning?
Not so fast. Coach Pat Shurmur said that Daniel Jones, whose high ankle sprain has necessitated these two starts by Manning, is “trying to come back from injury and who knows where he’s going to be . . . I don’t know how much better he is going to be.” Jones was able to practice all this past week and there is every indication that he’ll be healthier and ready to go when the Giants face Washington on Sunday, but Shurmur would not commit to that.
