The New York Giants were already underdogs for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. But their chances of walking away with a win became even slimmer on Friday after starting quarterback Daniel Jones was ruled out due to a neck injury.
Jones hurt his neck in last week’s 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He exited the game in the early fourth quarter and didn’t return.
Daboll told reporters that Jones is feeling better but isn’t 100% ready to get on the field.
“I think he’s getting better but not good enough to play for this game,” Daboll said.
While losing Jones is a tough blow for the Giants, Daboll believes that the offense is in a good place with backup Tyrod Taylor under center.
“Tyrod’s a pro,” he added. “He comes out every day and approaches it the right way in the backup situation, but he always approaches it as if he’s the starter. He’s had a good week, he’s prepared well, but he does that every week.”
Daniel Jones has been playing poorly to start 2023, throwing for only 884 yards and two touchdowns while having six interceptions. As a result, the Giants have been stuck at the bottom of the NFC East with only one win from their first five games.
