Giants Quarterback Daniel Jones' Season Uncertain Due to Neck Injury, Tyrod Taylor Continues to Start
Daniel Jones' neck injury, leading to significant weakness in his left arm, puts his ability to play again this season under question, with the team being extra cautious due to potential reinjury risks.
- New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has missed three consecutive games due to a severe neck injury causing significant weakness in his left arm.
- The Giants have put off clearing Jones for contact, placing his return this season in question. However, indications such as increased scout team reps during practice suggest he may yet play again this season.
- Veteran backup Tyrod Taylor has stepped in as the starting quarterback during Jones' absence, leading the Giants to a 1-1 record in the last two games where he threw for 479 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions.
- The possible return date for Jones has been tentatively cited as Week 10, in a game against the Dallas Cowboys, though the Giants are carefully monitoring Jones' progress on a week-to-week basis.
- Jones, who recently signed a four-year $160 million contract with the Giants, was injured during a game against Miami Dolphins on October 8, where his neck 'snapped back' after a sack. It's his second neck injury in three seasons.
