Report: Ex-Giants 'discussing plan' to wear Manning jerseys on sidelines next week

A group of 25 former New York Giants plan to show their support for recently benched quarterback Eli Manning by wearing his jersey on the sidelines during next week's game against the Dallas Cowboys, reported Jay Glazer of FOX Sports on "FOX NFL Sunday"

Next week's game will be held at the Giants' home of MetLife Stadium.

Manning's string of 210 consecutive starts will be snapped Sunday after the Giants brass approached the quarterback about being replaced midgame by backups Geno Smith and Davis Webb. Manning opted instead to cede the starting job to Smith.

The 2-9 Giants' decision to reduce Manning's snaps has been met with backlash from the team's fanbase, current players, and former Giants.
