The quarterback suffered an ankle sprain in the second quarter of the game versus the Packers and he finished the game. There are different degrees of severity when it comes to high ankle sprains, and this one is much less significant than Saquan Barkley's. There was no way Barkley would have been able to finish the game like Jones did. It is possible to play through, after all Patrick Mahomes played through a week one high ankle sprain and had four straight victories. I think it is possible that Jones could play through, but the likelihood is that Eli Manning will play for a week or two. Mahomes is at the top of his game and Jones is on a steep learning curve. Makes sense for the Giants to sit Jones this week. It doesn’t risk further injury, but also allow him to take a deep breath step back and take the next step in his development.
