Giants' Daniel Jones Misses Wednesday's Practice, Will Be Day-to-Day with Neck Injury

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will not practice Wednesday and is considered day-to-day with a neck injury.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Jones is feeling sorer now than he was earlier in the week, which is not an encouraging sign for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Jones was injured late in last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins and was replaced by Tyrod Taylor.

Daboll also told reporters tight end Darren Waller will miss Wednesday's practice with a groin injury.

Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March, has been one of the NFL's worst quarterbacks through the first five weeks of the season. He's thrown for just 884 yards and two touchdowns against six interceptions while taking 28 sacks, which ranks second in the NFL behind Washington's Sam Howell.

The Seahawks and Dolphins have sacked Jones a combined 16 times over the past two weeks.

After seemingly coming into his own under Daboll in 2022, Jones has already thrown more interceptions than he did all of last season. His two touchdown passes are the fewest of any primary starting quarterback, and he ranks 28th among starters in QBR.

Jones previously missed six games during the 2021 season due to a neck injury. It's not believed this injury is as serious, but it's likely the Giants will proceed with caution.

Waller, a prized offseason acquisition, has not done much to live up to his preseason hype. He's racked up just 23 receptions for 239 yards without a touchdown. The 31-year-old has not played in a full season since 2020.

Taylor is playing for his sixth NFL franchise in his journeyman career. He started 53 games over the course of his 13 NFL seasons, most recently with the Houston Texans in 2021.
