Giants’ Daniel Jones Exits Game After Neck Injury Against Dolphins

The New York signal-caller suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones suffered an apparent neck injury in Week 5 and did not return in Sunday's 31–16 loss to the Dolphins.

The injury came after Jones was sacked by Miami's Andrew Van Ginkel, marking the sixth time he was brought down for a loss in the contest. After the sack, Jones exited the field and was taken into the medical tent. Giants backup Tyrod Taylor entered the game for Jones.

It’s been a rough stretch for Jones and New York's offensive line, as the quarterback has been sacked 17 times in the last seven quarters.

Jones finished Sunday’s game with 14-for-20 passing and 119 yards while rushing for 24 yards. It is worth noting that Jones was playing behind a Giants offensive line missing multiple players.

Offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu started in place of injured left tackle Andrew Thomas. Following Jones’s injury, Ezeudu was removed from the game. Meanwhile, Marcus McKethan exited the game with a knee injury. 

New York (1-4) suffered its third consecutive loss this season. The Giants will return to action on Sunday in a road matchup against the Bills.
