Daniel Jones - Page 91 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Week 16 status TBD Giants head coach Joe Judge said he hopes to have "some kind of an answer" regarding the status of Jones (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Ravens after Friday's practice, Ralph...

Impact The report notes that Judge has gotten "good feedback" on the quarterback from the Giants' trainers, but the coach wants to see how the quarterback looks at practice over the next three days before a decision on his status for the weekend is made. Colt McCoy served as the team's starting signal-caller in the Week 15 loss to the Browns and would be in line to direct the offense again Sunday if Jones can't go.

Not playing Sunday Jones (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact For the second time in three games, Jones will take a seat due to the combination of a right hamstring injury from Week 12 and a sprained left ankle from last Sunday versus the Cardinals. In his stead, Colt McCoy will direct the Giants offense, with Clayton Thorson serving as the backup quarterback. Jones' next chance to suit up comes next Sunday at Baltimore.

Unlikely to start Sunday Jones (ankle/hamstring) is not expected to start Sunday night's game against the Browns despite being listed as questionable, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jones was able to practice in limited fashion all week so it's a bit surprising there's reports already suggesting the second-year quarterback will be unable to play, but considering the Giants won't kick off until 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, the early warning might help fantasy managers better prepare. It's worth noting Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Colt McCoy will start, seemingly removing any sort of possibility Jones could make a miraculous turnaround before the prime-time contest, but the Giants have yet to officially make that call.

Questionable for Sunday Jones (ankle/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Jones was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, sharing reps with backup quarterback Colt McCoy. His status could come down to a game-time decision ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with Jones hoping to fight through a sprained ankle and injured hamstring. He didn't look good in a 26-7 loss to the Cardinals last week, throwing for only 127 yards before he was pulled from the game in the fourth quarter.

Looks limited at practice Jones (hamstring/ankle) is practicing Friday, but Colt McCoy looks set to receive most of the reps with the first-team offense, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Raanan suggests that Jones will be listed as a limited participant for the third time this week, but it isn't yet clear if he'll be designated as questionable, doubtful or out on the Giants' final Week 15 injury report. Jones missed Week 13 with a right hamstring injury, then sprained his left ankle when he returned to action in last week's loss to the Cardinals. The Giants will release their injury report shortly after Friday's practice concludes.

DECEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited on practice estimate Jones (hamstring/ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Jones is dealing with a pair of injuries at the moment: a right hamstring injury that sidelined him Week 13 and a sprained left ankle that he picked up this past Sunday against the Giants. While the Giants didn't hold practice Thursday, coach Joe Judge noted that he was "encouraged" by Jones' ability to move about at Wednesday's session, per Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York. This comment comes on the heels of Judge stating Jones will be the starting quarterback Sunday against the Browns as long as he holds up on the field this week. Thus, Friday's practice may be the determining factor for Jones' Week 15 status. In the event he can't suit up this weekend, Jones will hand over starting duties to Colt McCoy.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Officially limited Wednesday Jones (ankle/hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Jones was able to return from a right hamstring injury to start in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted the second-year quarterback sprained his left ankle in that contest. The fact Jones was able to handle some reps Wednesday is a decent sign that he's doing everything in his power to be available Week 15 versus the Browns. However, his status will be one to watch due to his further compromised health. If Jones sits out for a second time this season, Colt McCoy is ready and waiting for another start under center.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Ankle injury surfaces Coach Joe Judge relayed Wednesday that Jones is dealing with another lower leg injury in addition to the hamstring issue he was previously managing, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

Impact More specifically, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that Jones suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals, which marked the quarterback's return from a one-game absence caused by a right hamstring injury. Per Rock's report, the Giants will evaluate the signal-caller as the week rolls along, but Judge acknowledges that Jones may not be able to start Sunday's game against the Browns. If Jones can't go this weekend, Colt McCoy would step in as the team's starter.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Will start if healthy Coach Joe Judge said Monday that Jones will start against the Browns in Week 15 as long as he looks healthy in practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Judge also noted that Jones wasn't removed from Sunday's loss to Arizona because of an additional or aggravated injury, per Leonard. However, it clearly seems as though Jones still was bothered by the hamstring injury that forced him to sit out Week 13, as he failed to showcase his usual mobility and fumbled three times without logging a single carry. As long as Jones doesn't have any setbacks in practice it looks as though he'll start under center against Cleveland, but if the second-year pro is hobbled he could have a particularly tough time escaping from a defensive line led by Myles Garrett.

Struggles in return Jones completed 11 of 21 passes for 127 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 26-7 loss to Arizona. He also fumbled three times, losing one.

Impact Jones hadn't turned the ball over in his previous three games played, but that streak quickly came to an end on New York's opening drive, as the second-year quarterback's fumbling issues reared their head again on a sack near midfield. Jones set up Dion Lewis' one-yard rushing touchdown with a 39-yard pass to Golden Tate in the third quarter, but he failed to lead the Giants to any other points in his return following a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The normally mobile quarterback didn't record a rushing attempt and sat out New York's final drive with the game out of reach, suggesting his hamstring is nowhere near 100 percent. New York's still in the hunt for a playoff spot in the dreadful NFC East and will have a decision to make between a depleted Jones and backup Colt McCoy in Week 15 against the Browns.

DECEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action Sunday Jones (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones was unable to do too much on-field work prior to sitting out Week 13, the result of a right hamstring injury. When the Giants reconvened for practice Wednesday, he proceeded to put together back-to-back limited listings before wrapping up the week with a full session. Still, the team decided to wait until it was required to make a decision on his availability. That said, he may cede some snaps to backup Colt McCoy, per Raanan, so Jones is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

DECEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Jones (hamstring) is expected to start Sunday against the Cardinals, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact This reinforces the report that came Friday suggesting the second-year quarterback would miss just one game thanks to a balky hamstring. It's fair to assume some of Jones' athleticism will likely be hampered, but considering the draft capital invested in the quarterback last season, it's hard to imagine the team would trot out Jones unless he was healthy enough to make a difference on the field. That being said, it might not be a great matchup for Jones considering the Cardinals have allowed less than 250 passing yards in four of the last five games.

DECEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Seemingly on track to play Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Raanan suggests the quarterback looked good at Friday's practice, finishing out the week as a full participant after he was limited Wednesday and Thursday. The upgrade puts Jones on track to play this week, with the Giants right in the mix for a playoff spot. We'll be on the lookout for confirmation of his status prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

DECEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Optimism for Week 14 return Coach Joe Judge expressed optimism about Jones' (hamstring) status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but he also said, "at the same time, there's a ways to go," Ralph Vacchi...

Impact Judge also indicated Jones showed clear progress coming out of Thursday's practice, though the quarterback has yet to work as a limited participant. How the 23-year-old looks during Friday's practice should dictate whether he's available for Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals. Colt McCoy is poised for another start at quarterback should Jones be forced to miss his second straight game.

DECEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Jones was also listed as limited at Wednesday's walk-through session, so Thursday's practice doesn't represent a substantial change one way or the other. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the Giants intend to make a final decision about the second-year quarterback's Week 14 availability Friday, so it looks like Jones' chances of facing the Cardinals will come down to how well he does during the final practice of the week.

Pelissero: Daniel Jones injury update from Thursday's practice NFL Network's Tom Pelissero provides an injury update for New York Giants QB Daniel Jones.

DECEMBER 10, 2020 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Call on status could arrive Friday Coach Joe Judge noted Thursday that the Giants are hoping to make a final decision on Jones' (hamstring) Week 14 status on Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Judge added that how the QB does at practice Thursday should be telling with regard to his chances of starting Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Per the report, Jones has been throwing the ball well, but the coaching staff wants to see how he moves around in the pocket before determining how to proceed with the second-year signal-caller in advance of Week 14 action.

DECEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at walk-through Jones (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Coach Joe Judge opened Week 14 prep Monday by stating Jones will have "every opportunity" to return Sunday against the Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Judge also told Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record that he wants to see Jones "sidestep" and "step up" when pressured in the pocket, while avoiding "getting hurt worse." During the part of Wednesday's session open to the media, Jones was spotted stretching with the team, and his 'limited' tag indicates he was able to fit in some on-field reps. He'll have two more chances to prove his health before week's end.

DECEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Week 14 Coach Joe Judge said Monday that he'll give Jones (hamstring) "every opportunity" to play in Week 14, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jones managed to practice in a limited capacity Friday, but he was nonetheless forced to sit out Sunday's upset win over the Seahawks due to his hamstring strain. He'll work to limit himself to a one-game absence by proving his health once the Giants resume practicing, though a decision on Jones' availability could realistically come down to the wire. Colt McCoy will start versus the Cardinals if Jones ends up sidelined again.

DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive as expected Week 13 Jones is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact This announcement merely makes what was expected a formality, even with Jones managing to work back to a limited practice Friday. Colt McCoy, who averaged just 3.1 yards per attempt after taking over for Jones against the Bengals in Week 12, will draw the start against a Seahawks defense that's improved against the pass of late, allowing 240.0 yards through the air over the last three games (compared to a 328.8 season figure). Jones' next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 14 against the Cardinals.
