The New York Giants may have to wait for some more time before they get back starting QB Daniel Jones, who is dealing with a neck injury.
Jones missed the Giants' Week 13 game against the Miami Dolphins due to the injury. Unfortunately, despite the rest he had, it seems he hasn't recovered enough to allow him to lay in time for Week 14. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 24-year-old signal-caller is “unlikely to play Sunday” after his latest evaluation from the team's doctors and specialists.
On a more positive note, the Giants are said to be hopeful he won't miss more time after their Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
After further visits with Giants doctors and specialists to have his neck injury evaluated, QB Daniel Jones is unlikely to play Sunday vs. Chargers, per sources. Team hopes Jones won’t miss much more time, but Jake Fromm, signed off Buffalo’s PS, could be in line to start Sunday.

For what it's worth, an earlier report indicated that Daniel Jones could be out for “multiple weeks” because of his neck injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network cited that “there might be more than ligament issues ailing Jones.”
The said update was prior to his evaluation on Monday, so Jones might have made some improvements in his recovery.
However, the status of the Charlotte native remains unclear. He is considered week to week, but that means the Giants are also not certain when he can return to play. It can be after this week or beyond.
Without Jones against the Dolphins, New York succumbed to a 20-9 defeat. Mike Glennon started in place of Jones, but he was unable to get a touchdown and actually threw one interception.
