EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been cleared to return to the lineup after missing three games with a neck injury.
Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Jones was seen by a spine surgeon on Sunday before the game against the Jets and was cleared for contact. The coach expects Jones to practice fully on Wednesday.
Jones had been ruled out of the Jets game on Friday so he was not eligible to play in the 13-10 overtime loss.
The Giants (2-6) could have used him since veteran backup Tyrod Taylor was forced to leave the game midway through the second quarter after hurting his ribs going to the turf in front of the Jets bench.
