Daniel Jones’ chances of injury recovery for Giants vs. Bills get slimmer

The odds are getting longer of Daniel Jones coming to the Giants’ rescue this weekend.

Jones was set to miss practice Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll said, three days before the Giants face another large test in Orchard Park against the Bills.

The Giants quarterback said Wednesday his neck was “still a little bit sore” after sustaining the injury on a blind-side hit Sunday against the Dolphins.

There had been optimism earlier in the week that Jones — who missed the final six games of the 2021 season with a neck injury — had avoided the same injury and could return quicker.

That optimism has been replaced with a reality that Jones does not appear to be ready.

If he is still not ready Sunday, Tyrod Taylor will play.

“If he’s better, he’ll play,” Daboll said. “If he’s not, he won’t.”
