Giants bracing for Daniel Jones to possibly miss several games

Daniel Jones might end up missing more than just one game with his neck injury. And there seems to be at least a chance that his season could be in jeopardy, too.

The Giants are bracing for the 24-year-old quarterback to possibly miss several games with what the team is calling a “strained neck,” according to a source familiar with the situation. That’s a possibility that even Giants coach Joe Judge alluded to Friday after he ruled Jones out of the Giants’ game on Sunday in Miami. He said “there’s no answers now” about any games beyond that.

The more alarming part, though, is that Judge was asked several times this week if the injury could end Jones’ season and each time he declined to refute it. The most he would say was “not at this point.”

Some of that may have been gamesmanship on the part of the Giants’ coach, but there also appears to be some genuine uncertainty about just how long Jones will be out. As a source told SNY early in the week, “It could be days, it could be weeks with this kind of injury.”

All Judge would concede is that his quarterback has not been cleared for contact by team doctors. And as for when that might happen, he said, “We don’t have any answers on the immediate future yet.”

“There’s really gray area in what it is,” Judge said. “There’s really no final decision on (whether it’s season-ending). Obviously, at this point, we’re pushing to get him on the field as soon as he’s healthy and ready to go.”

Judge clarified that the “gray area” wasn’t in the diagnosis, but about when doctors might clear Jones for contact.

“In terms of what it’s going to look like in the immediate weeks coming up and future weeks down the stretch, there’s no answers right now,” Judge said. “Everything else would be hypothetical or guessing at this point.”

Judge refused to offer any specifics on Jones’ injury and wouldn’t answer if there…
