In a press conference held on Friday, Giants head coach Brian Daboll provided updates on the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. While there is still hope for quarterback Daniel Jones, his status remains uncertain due to an ongoing neck injury.

Daboll informed reporters that Jones' neck has not been cleared for contact, but he notably did not include the quarterback on the list of players who have been ruled out for Sunday's game. This leaves a glimmer of possibility that Jones might be able to start if he is cleared before kickoff. However, given that it is currently viewed as a long shot, it is likely that Tyrod Taylor will be leading the Giants' offense for the second consecutive week.

While the Giants hold out hope for Jones, they have unfortunately ruled out left tackle Andrew Thomas for the sixth straight game. Thomas is dealing with a hamstring injury that has kept him off the field for longer than the minimum stint on injured reserve. This decision has led to questions about why the Giants did not utilize the injured reserve list to open up a roster spot for a healthy player.

In addition to Thomas, the Giants will also be without center John Michael Schmitz and tackle Matt Peart, who are both sidelined with shoulder injuries. Right tackle Evan Neal and cornerback Adoree' Jackson, on the other hand, have been listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to hamstring and neck injuries, respectively.

As the Giants proceed with their preparations for the upcoming game, fans eagerly await the final verdict on Daniel Jones' availability. With Taylor likely to take the reins once again, the team will need to put together a solid performance to compensate for the absence of key players like Andrew Thomas. The Commanders, meanwhile, will be looking to take advantage of any weaknesses and add another victory to their record.

The game on Sunday promises to be an intriguing battle between two teams managing injuries and striving to secure a crucial win. Fans will be keeping a close eye on the Giants' quarterback situation, hoping for positive news regarding Daniel Jones' neck injury and a potential return to the field.
