Eli lauds Romo’s ‘classy’ move

Eli Manning has been through many different situations and scenarios in his 13 seasons with the Giants, but never anything akin to the place Tony Romo finds himself in with the Cowboys.

Romo held an emotional press conference Tuesday, admitting rookie Dak Prescott deserves to be the starting quarterback, as Romo reaches the twilight of a career sideswiped by injuries.

“I thought it was a classy move by Tony,’’ Manning said on Wednesday following practice. “Good thing to try and end the talk and the speculation. Just go ahead and clear things [up]. I’ve always had a lot of respect for Tony, but I thought it was a good move by him.

“He sees the situation. You have a young quarterback and Dak is playing great football. They’re winning games. I guess he knows that you just don’t mess with that.”

Manning has started 192 consecutive regular-season games; he never misses a thing. Still, he has empathy for the chronically hurt Romo.

“You always feel for guys that are injured,’’ Manning said. “To lose your spot because of injury is tough. Feel for him. I know Tony will do the right things and he’ll be ready to play.’’

Ben McAdoo said he doesn’t believe in trap games. Though the Giants have won four straight games and are riding high as the 2-7 Bears limp into MetLife Stadium on Sunday, the coach said he doesn’t think his team will overlook them. “You can take their record and you can throw it out that window over there,” McAdoo said. “It doesn’t matter. You have to prepare for what you see on film. They’re a dangerous offense and their defense is pretty dang good.”

Wide receiver Victor Cruz (ankle) was limited during Wednesday’s light practice, a positive sign as he looks to return after missing Monday night’s victory over the Bengals. Running back Orleans Darkwa (lower leg) was also limited.
