Daniel Jones, The Giants’ Quarterback, Will Miss The Rest Of The 2023 Season Due To A Torn ACL In His Right Knee.

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (AP) – Daniel Jones of the New York Giants has a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season.

Jones got an MRI on Monday, according to coach Brian Daboll, and it revealed the season-ending injury.

The second-year coach had no idea when surgery would be performed or whether any further knee components were injured.

Daboll stated that he saw Jones on Monday and hugged him. The No. 6 overall choice in the 2019 draught was meeting with team doctors to discuss treatment and was unavailable for comment.

Jones, who was returning to the lineup after missing three games due to a neck injury, was injured on the final play of the first quarter while looking for a receiver downfield. His right knee buckled.

Jones was evaluated in the medical tent between quarters, ran on the sideline, and satisfied the coaches and medical personnel that he could return. He dropped back on the opening play of the second quarter, and his knee gave out again. He left the field during Las Vegas’ 30-6 loss and did not return.

Tommy DeVito finished the game after being promoted from the practice squad this week with backup Tyrod Taylor on injured reserve with a rib cage injury.

Taylor will be on injured reserve for the next three games. Unless the Giants sign someone else, that leaves DeVito, an undrafted rookie, and veteran Matt Barkley, a recent practice squad player who wasn’t available Sunday since the Giants did not elevate him for the game.

Daboll said he would meet with general manager Joe Schoen later Monday to discuss the quarterback issue. He stated that he intended to prepare DeVito for a game versus Dallas on Sunday. In the season opener, the Cowboys defeated the Giants 40-0.

DeVito completed 15 of 20 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on Sunday. After Taylor was injured, he made his NFL debut the week before against the Jets.
