Giants' Eli Manning: Plans to retire
Eli Manning will hold a press conference Friday to announce his retirement from professional football, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.Manning reportedly didn't intend to return to the New York Giants in 2020 as a backup, but he gave some thought to exploring free agency if the opportunity existed to compete for a starting job. It didn't take him long to decide against that second option, with the 39-year-old perhaps realizing he would be the underdog in any of these theoretical job battles. He'll step away from the game with two Super Bowl MVPs and a career 117-117 record as a starter in the regular season, with his good health and longevity atop the Giants' depth chart allowing him to rank seventh in NFL history in passing yards (57,023) and passing touchdowns (366). Meanwhile, New York will move forward with Daniel Jones as its signal-caller.

Giants' Eli Manning: Non-committal on future in NFL
Eli Manning said Monday that he'll take time this offseason to determine whether he wants to retire from the NFL or continue his career in 2020, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.If Manning is serious about playing in 2020 and there's still a market for his services, he'll likely have to don a different uniform, as the 38-year-old acknowledged he wasn't interested in returning to the New York Giants for another year of backing up Daniel Jones. During his four starts in 2019, Manning completed 91 of 147 passes (61.9 percent) for 7.1 yards per attempt, six touchdowns and five interceptions, guiding the Giants to a 1-3 record in those contests.

Giants' Eli Manning: Cedes starting job to Daniel Jones
Eli Manning will return to a backup role for Sunday's game at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.Daniel Jones has been cleared to rejoin the starting lineup after missing the past two games with an ankle sprain. As such, Manning will return to the No. 2 job before his contract expires at the conclusion of the league year. He reportedly hopes to continue his NFL career, but it isn't clear if he'd be willing to settle for a backup job.

Giants' Eli Manning: Mixed bag in win
Eli Manning completed 20 of 28 passes for 283 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.Manning tossed a 51-yard touchdown to Golden Tate in the second quarter and a five-yarder to Darius Slayton in the third. He nearly had another third-quarter score, but receiver Sterling Shepard came up just short of the end zone and Saquon Barkley punched it in on the ground one play later. With some decent weapons around him, the veteran quarterback should get some consideration in two-quarterback formats against the Redskins in Week 16, assuming Daniel Jones (ankle) isn't reinserted under center over Manning.

Giants' Eli Manning: Getting another start
Eli Manning will replace the injured Daniel Jones (ankle) as the New York Giants' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.Manning could be making his final start in a Giants uniform, or at least his last one at MetLife Stadium. If so, he's in a nice position to go out with a bang, facing a Miami defense that's given up the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, including 31 passing touchdowns and three rushing scores in 13 games. Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Darius Slayton give Manning a nice group of pass-catching weapons to work with, though top tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both will be out for another week.

Giants' Eli Manning: Unclear if another start is on tap
Coach Pat Shurmur isn't sure whether Eli Manning or Daniel Jones (ankle) will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tom Rock of Newsday reports. "I couldn't tell you that at this point," Shurmur said Tuesday.On Monday in Philadelphia, Manning was given a shot to take the field for the first time since Week 2, but despite a throwback first half, he and the New York Giants ultimately fell in overtime. Overall, he completed 15 of 30 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns while losing a yard on two carries. Before making a decision on the Giants' starting QB for Week 15, Shurmur wants to see how Jones moves about on his "moderate" high-ankle sprain this week, which may mean the rookie signal-caller makes an appearance at practice. In any case, Shurmer disputed the report that Jones is set to sit out 2-to-4 weeks, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. We should have a better idea on Manning's prospects for another start by week's end.

Giants' Eli Manning: Throws two TDs in return
Eli Manning completed 15 of 30 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-17 overtime loss to the Eagles.Manning, who was making his first appearance since Week 2, got off to a strong start thanks to wideout Darius Slayton. The rookie broke a tackle en route to a 35-yard score early, then breezed by blown coverage on a 55-yard touchdown just prior to halftime. The latter reception marked Manning's longest completion of the season, but the 38-year-old struggled to produce much in the second half. While New York's sputtering offense ultimately contributed toward a narrow defeat, Manning figures to remain at the helm should Daniel Jones (ankle) stay sidelined in Week 15, when a matchup against the Dolphins could favor the New York Giants' passing attack.

Giants' Eli Manning: May replace Jones beyond Week 14
Eli Manning, who will start Monday's game against the Eagles, could remain in the lineup beyond Week 14 with Daniel Jones (ankle) expected to be sidelined around 2-to-4 weeks, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.After sustaining a high-ankle sprain in the Week 13 loss to the Packers, Jones wasn't able to practice at any point this week, though he was able to rid himself of a walking boot. While ditching the boot amounts to a sign of progress, the rookie signal-caller doesn't look like he's currently on pace to play Week 15 against the Dolphins, though the New York Giants haven't officially commented on his status beyond the Monday night game. Jones' absence will at least allow Manning to takes snaps for the first time since Week 2, providing the veteran with another chance to show teams around the league that he still has something left in the tank. Though Manning's contract will expire after the season, sources close to the 39-year-old believe he's open to continue playing if the opportunity to start exists with another team, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

Giants' Eli Manning: Will start Monday
Eli Manning will start Monday's contest against the Eagles after Daniel Jones (ankle) was officially ruled out, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.This shouldn't come as a surprise considering conversation all throughout the week seemed to indicate Jones would be unavailable Monday. As a result, the 38-year-old quarterback will make the 233rd start of his professional career, but his first since Week 2. What's more, he'll be without his star tight end Evan Engram (foot), who was somewhat surprisingly ruled out for another week. However, Manning will still have a dangerous trio of wide receivers at his disposal in the form of Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Darius Slayton, all of whom are expected to play.

Giants' Eli Manning: Headed for Week 14 start
Eli Manning is in line to replace an injured Daniel Jones (ankle) as the starting quarterback for Monday's game in Philadelphia, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.Jones played through the injury during the 31-13 loss to the Packers over the weekend, but he's expected to miss at least one game after an MRI revealed a high-ankle sprain that's believed to be of moderate severity. Manning thus figures to make his first start since Week 2, leading an offense that may or may not have Golden Tate (concussion), Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) in the lineup.
