Giants’ QB Daniel Jones cleared for contact, per reports

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones has been cleared for contact, per multiple reports.

First reported by Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Jones was apparently cleared by doctors prior to Sunday's 13-10 loss to the New York Jets. His return comes at an incredibly fortuitous time, as backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a painful rib injury during the loss to the Jets that saw him taken to a local hospital. Had Jones not been cleared, that would have meant UDFA rookie Tommy DeVito would have been in line to make his first start against the Las Vegas Raiders.
