Giants QB Daniel Jones will not play Week 6 vs. Bills due to neck injury, Tyrod Taylor to start under center

If the New York Giants want to upset the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night, they will have to do so without starting quarterback Daniel Jones. Head coach Brian Daboll ruled him out on Friday with the neck injury he sustained in last week’s 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Tyrod Taylor will get the start for New York. 

Jones wasn’t the only Giant ruled out for Week 6, as left tackle Andrew Thomas, center John Michael Schmitz, offensive tackle Matt Peart and pass rusher Azeez Ojulari will also not be in uniform, per The Athletic. New York’s offensive line has struggled to protect Jones, and now, Taylor will have to find a way to be effective against Von Miller and the Bills’ pass-rush without a couple of key players. 

Jones suffered his neck injury in the fourth quarter last Sunday when he was hit by Andrew Van Ginkel from behind. Jones told reporters after the game that his neck was sore and that he had X-Rays completed at the stadium. Daboll even told reporters on Monday he was “optimistic” Jones could be available Sunday night, and that the quarterback was moving in the right direction. However, he apparently wasn’t able to make enough progress quickly enough.

This is a developing story.
