New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) missed a Week 13 game against the Miami Dolphins and now he’s poised to miss more time.
Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports that Jones is likely to sit out against the Los Angeles Chargers this week and could miss more time even beyond that.
Daniel Jones is “likely” to miss the Giants’ next game against the Chargers, according to a source familiar with the situation, and his backup, Mike Glennon, suffered a concussion in the Giants’ 20-9 loss in Miami on Sunday, making his status murky as well.
And as SNY reported on Friday, the Giants were already bracing for Jones to miss multiple starts with what they are calling a “strained neck.
The Giants have been coy about the exact nature of Jones’ injury and its significance. Head coach Joe Judge has been reluctant to rule Jones out for any extended period of time, but also couldn’t close the door on the injury being season-ending.
Team doctors refused to clear Jones for contact last week, which left him limited in practice. That is not likely to change over the next five days, which means DJ will be forced to ride the pine yet again on Sunday.
For the time being, the Giants have opted not to put Jones on injured reserve but that could change now that Mike Glennon is also sidelined with a concussion and roster spots are at a premium.
