New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor was under center for the injured Daniel Jones on Sunday, but he was also dealt a brutal blow, exiting in the first half with a nasty rib injury. Taylor ultimately spent the night in hospital as a precautionary move, but the signal-caller was released on Monday afternoon and will be week-to-week for the time being. Via Adam Schefter:
“Giants’ QB Tyrod Taylor was discharged from the hospital today after being taken there Sunday for precautionary reasons due to a rib injury, per source. For now, Taylor is considered week to week.”
Taylor was just 4 for 7 for eight yards before departing but also ran for 33 yards on five carries. The 34-year-old has been performing rather well for the Giants in Jones' place, throwing for 279 yards last week in a win over the Washington Commanders.
After Taylor left, Tommy DeVito stepped in as QB1 and attempted just seven passes Sunday against the New York Jets. He didn't complete a throw until OT, though. The lack of experience was clear.
Things are looking very grim for New York, who sit at 2-6 after the 13-10 overtime loss. On a more positive note, Jones is cleared to return and appears to be in line to start next Sunday.
As for Tyrod Taylor, any type of injury to the ribs doesn't heal quickly. He could be out for weeks depending on recovery. The G-Men will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9 on the road before visiting the mighty Dallas Cowboys. We'll see if Danny Dimes can find his footing.
