Giants optimistic Daniel Jones (ankle) plays Week 5
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) could play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
What It Means:
Jones exited Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears in the third quarter with an ankle injury, but he returned just two possessions later after Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion. If Jones and Taylor are both unavailable for Week 5 in London, then the Giants may opt to just go with Saquon Barkley in the wildcat. Jones only attempted 13 passes in Week 4 and he completed eight of them for 71 scoreless, interception-free yards. He also added 68 yards and a pair of scores with his legs.
Jones scored a season-best 21.6 FanDuel points in Week 4 due to his rushing ability, but he finished with negative-0.99 Passing Net Expected Points. Looking ahead to Week 5, the Packers are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season.
