Instead, Manning is drawing the start on Monday night when the New York Giants visit the Philadelphia Eagles. Rookie Daniel Jones supplanted Manning as the starter in September, but he was officially ruled out on Saturday after suffering a high ankle sprain during last Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Eli Manning will start for the New York Giants against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14 after Daniel Jones was officially ruled out of the game.

After the Eagles (5-7) lost in stunningly horrific fashion to the Dolphins last week, the Cowboys (6-7) hit 'em with an old "hold my beer" and got trumped by the Bears, 31-24.
