Quarterback Eli Manning will start for the New York Giants against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, the team announced Saturday.
Daniel Jones was officially ruled out Saturday due to a high ankle sprain. Also ruled out for the Giants are tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concusssion), along with Corey Ballentine (concussion).
Engram had been expected to return after missing three games, which would have given Manning a full complement of weapons on offense as the Giants (2-10) are trying to snap an eight-game skid.
Engram’s absence also means the Giants still haven’t had all their pass-catching weapons — Engram, receivers Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard, and running back Saquon Barkley — on the field together this season.
Tate, who is second on the Giants with four receiving touchdowns, missed last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. He is set to play his first game with Manning after missing the first four weeks of the season for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
