The New York Giants QB Daniel Jones left Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins with a neck injury in the fourth quarter. The Giants were down 31-13 when Jones was sacked by Andrew Van Ginkel, which took him off the field. Jones was 14 of 20 for 119 yards when he left the game. Tyrod Taylor finished the game at quarterback.
The Giants had eight offensive possessions with Jones (including the possession which he was injured), and punted four times, kicked three field goals, and had a missed field goal. The Giants have had an awful season thus far, and still have no offensive first-half touchdowns through five games (they are just the sixth team since 1991 with zero first half offensive touchdowns through five games). The Giants and the 2017 Dolphins are the only teams since 2005 not to record an offensive touchdown in the first half through the first five games of a season.
After the game, Jones told reporters that he had X-rays done at the stadium due to neck soreness, and said he will also have an MRI this week to determine the extent of the injury. Jones said he’s dealt with similar issues in the past, referencing his season-ending neck injury in 2021.
