Daniel Jones‘ neck strain will likely force him to miss some time. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports (via Twitter) that the Giants quarterback is considered week-to-week and veteran Mike Glennon is expected to start on Sunday against the Dolphins. Ralph Vacchiano of SNY tweets that the starting QB’s status is uncertain, and his status will “depend on how he feels this week.”
Jones suffered the injury during the second play from scrimmage this past weekend against the Eagles. The quarterback ended up staying in the game and completing 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 202 yards and one touchdown (along with another 30 yards on the ground) in a Giants victory.
Jones missed games in each of his first two seasons in the NFL, and it’s bad timing for a struggling Giants offense that’s still managed to win three of their past five games. The former sixth-overall pick has seen some improvements during his junior season, holding a career-high mark in completion percentage (64.3) and a career-low mark in interception percentage.
Glennon stepped in for Jones when the starter exited the Giants’ Week 5 loss with a concussion. The 31-year-old completed 16 of his 25 pass attempts for 196 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The journeyman started five games for the Jaguars last season, throwing seven touchdowns vs. five interceptions. The Giants added some depth to their QB room earlier today when they signed Jake Fromm off the Bills practice squad. New York also has QB Brian Lewerke stashed on their taxi squad.
Awesome
Lol
2020: NFC Least
2021: NFC Least [and also the Cowboys are here too I guess]
The NFC North, as a whole, is worse
Dolphins continue to have the red carpet laid out for them to get back to .500.
Wont matter the Giants are a mess
It’s funny. In the offseason, the Giants bolstered their WR corp with Golladay and Toney to join Slayton and Shepard as a pretty solid four man crew. The only game all four have been healthy for was Week 1.
Not making any excuses for Jones because he’s been horrible since the New Orleans game, but it’s got to be hard to develop any kind of rhythm with his receivers when they just keep rotating on the injury report. As a fan, I would just like to see a few games with all of them in the lineup so the offense can look at least somewhat competent.
Slayton and Shep i feel have missed the whole season. I rarely see them either 1. on the field, 2. being targeted. neither are a standalone and it def shows.
