Giants' Daniel Jones Out for Season After Suffering Knee Injury in Raiders Loss

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will miss the remainder of the 2023 season after being diagnosed with a torn ACL.

Jones was injured in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He had missed the previous three games due to a neck injury.

"You never want your guys to go down. He has worked really hard to get back and it's unfortunate," Giants coach Brian Daboll told reporters Sunday.

The injury marks a disappointing end to what can only be described as a disastrous 2023 season for Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract in the offseason. Jones threw for just 909 yards and two touchdowns against six interceptions in six games while averaging 5.7 yards per pass attempt, the NFL's second-worst mark among quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts.

It was a far cry from Jones' strong 2022 campaign, which saw him throw for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns against five interceptions while adding 708 yards and seven scores as a rusher.

While Jones has always been a bit of a checkdown machine as a passer, Daboll's offensive system allowed him to thrive as a runner last season in a way that did not translate to 2023. The Giants rank last in the NFL in total yards and scoring this season. Their 11.2 points per game is nearly four points worse than any other team.

Undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito replaced Jones and will get the first crack at starting moving forward. DeVito threw for 175 yards and one touchdown against two picks in what amounted to garbage-time work against the Raiders.

The Giants will sign a second quarterback to their 53-man roster in the coming days with Tyrod Taylor also on injured reserve.
