Giants quarterback Daniel Jones reportedly has not been cleared for contact and will miss this Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. Jones hurt his neck on the second play of last week's game and finished the contest. However, head coach Joe Judge told reporters this week that he considers Jones week-to-week with a cervical strain, which are typically thought of as day-to-day.
At this point, the early rule out means there may be more to the young quarterback's neck issue than meets the eye. If Jones is indeed dealing with a cervical strain, he can return to play as soon as he has full range of motion. However, the fact he has not been cleared for contact indicates the possibility of a nerve issue. He indeed may have a neck disc issue causing some sort of radiculopathy. Mike Glennon will replace Jones this week against Miami and could be under center much longer if Jones lands on IR, which is a distinct possibility.
