The New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones stated on Thursday that he underwent a neck procedure during the winter. He clarified that this procedure was not related to a football injury and is not connected to the neck issue that ruled him out of action for the last six games of the last NFL season.
“I had a non-football-related procedure done on my neck. I saw there was something about it. It was completely unrelated, but I feel good. Neck is great,” Jones confirmed.
Jones was sidelined during week 12 of last season with what was labeled a “disc injury”, resulting in the player remaining on the injured reserve until the conclusion of the season.
Concerns about Jones’ health came to light when a photo circulated on social media showing what appeared to be a six-inch scar above Jones’ chest, thereby signifying the possibility that he had undergone surgery.
Jones returned to football on Thursday night in the game against the New England Patriots. He managed to complete 6 of 10 passes for 69 yards to help the Giants to a narrow 23-21 win.
