Giants Quarterback Daniel Jones Returns to Limited Practice
Limited Thursday practice leaves Jones' status for Sunday uncertain.
- New York Giants' Quarterback, Daniel Jones, has returned to practice in a limited capacity for the first time since his neck injury. His fitness status for the upcoming game against Washington remains questionable as he is yet to be cleared for contact.
- Jones' recent injury highlights the vulnerability of his position and his absence over the past few games has raised questions over his long-term future; especially considering the potential high-quality quarterbacks available in the upcoming draft.
- The Giants are currently 1-5 and face a difficult pathway to reach the playoffs. Historically, only three teams have qualified for the playoffs after losing five of their first six games.
- Amid uncertainties surrounding Jones' return, backup QB Tyrod Taylor has been covering for his position. Despite a commendable performance, Taylor made a significant mistake - audibling out of a pass play at a critical moment during the match against the Bills.
- The Giants also have a persisting issue with their offensive line. Injuries have ravaged the unit, with left tackle Andrew Thomas out since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1, and his backup, Josh Ezeudu, landing on injured reserve this week after a toe injury.
