Giants Quarterback Daniel Jones Cleared for Return After 3-Game Absence Due to Neck Injury

Jones' return comes as backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor hospitalised with rib injury in latest game, leaving the team with undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito, who struggled under pressure.

Overview

  • Daniel Jones, New York Giants' starting quarterback, has been cleared to return and play in their next game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jones has been out for the past three games due to a neck injury.
  • The backup quarterback for the Giants, Tyrod Taylor, was hospitalised with a rib injury during their latest game against the New York Jets, leaving them reliant on undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito.
  • Tommy DeVito, who was forced to step in after Taylor's injury, struggled under the pressure, throwing the ball just seven times and finishing with negative net yards passing.
  • Even though Jones was cleared before Sunday's game against the Jets, he had already been ruled out by kickoff. He should be able to practice normally on Wednesday.
  • Jones' return is critical for the Giants as they have until now struggled offensively with either Taylor or DeVito as quarterback, finishing their latest game with a franchise-worst minus-9 passing yards.
  • The Giants are currently considering adding another quarterback to their roster following Taylor's rib injury and DeVito's underperformance in the game.
