Tyrod Taylor Likely to Start Third Game for Giants as Daniel Jones Remains Uncleared After Neck Injury
Despite Tyrod Taylor's successful run, Giants' Coach Brian Daboll assures Daniel Jones's return as the team's starting quarterback once cleared from his neck injury.
- Tyrod Taylor is set to start his third straight game for the New York Giants, as starting quarterback Daniel Jones has yet to be cleared from a neck injury he sustained during Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins.
- Despite Taylor's successful impacts, including a 14-7 victory against the Washington Commanders in Week 7, Giants' Head Coach Brian Daboll reiterated that Jones will reclaim his starting position when he's medically cleared.
- Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Giants this offseason, expressed his eagerness to return to the field but noted the decision ultimately resorts to the team's medical officials.
- Taylor has demonstrated notable playmaking abilities, achieving a quarterback rating of 50.1 compared to Jones's 39.0, and played a key role in snapping a four-game losing streak for the team.
- Despite Taylor's performance, both quarterbacks have been subject to the struggles of the Giants' offensive line which has been plagued with injuries, resulting in 36 sacks over the course of the season.
