Nov 06, 2018

Before the team's bye, Shurmur had said "we'll see" when asked if Manning would keep his starting job. The Giants are 1-7 and average 18.8 points per game, which is 27th in the NFL. Manning has been sacked a league-high 31 times.

Shurmur also said Tuesday that he will not suspend backup quarterback Lauletta for his arrest last week.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
