The New York Giants pulled off a win against the rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 and will look to make it two in a row this weekend against the Miami Dolphins.
Things may just have gotten a bit more difficult for the Giants, however. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones is battling a strained neck that could keep him sidelined in Week 13. Jones apparently sustained the injury during the win over the Eagles, though he was able to play through it.
Jones has started all 11 games for the G-Men this year, leading the team to a 4-7 record. He's thrown 10 touchdown passes and seven interceptions on the year, while fumbling seven times and scoring two rushing touchdowns.
The Giants signed former Georgia Bulldogs star Jake Fromm off of the Bills' practice squad on Tuesday, in what could prove to be a depth move in case Jones can't suit up on Sunday. Fromm, a former fifth-round pick in 2020, has never featured in an NFL game, but was a standout player in Athens for the Georgia Bulldogs, enjoying a prolific college career.
As it stands, veteran backup Mike Glennon would likely be called upon to start for the Giants if Jones can't take the field against Miami. Glennon has played significant snaps in just one game this year, during which he completed 16-of-25 pass attempts for 196 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Giants' loss to the Cowboys in Week 5.
The Giants will surely be hoping Jones' neck heals up in time to get him out on the field on Sunday, but with his status up in the air, the team is making depth moves.
