Giants to Bench Daniel Jones for Week 12: Reports

Eli Manning to Start in Place of Injured Jones

The New York Giants are expected to bench quarterback Daniel Jones for Week 12 and start Eli Manning in his place, according to multiple reports.

Injury Concerns

Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions. The injury is expected to keep him out of action for at least two weeks.

Manning's Return

Manning, who retired following the 2019 season, has been practicing with the Giants since last week. He is expected to be ready to start against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Giants' Struggles

The Giants have struggled this season with Jones at quarterback, going 2-8 through 10 games. Manning, who led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles, is expected to provide a spark to the offense.

Other Notes

The Giants are also expected to make other changes to their lineup, including starting cornerback Julian Love in place of the injured James Bradberry.

The Giants are currently in last place in the NFC East and are facing an uphill battle to make the playoffs.

Jones is expected to be re-evaluated next week and could return to action in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks.
