The New York Giants rewarded veteran quarterback Daniel Jones with a multi-year contract extension this past offseason. 

The fifth-year signal-caller is coming off arguably the best season of his NFL career, but his 2023 campaign has gotten off to a rough start.

Now, for the third consecutive week, the Giants will have to play without Jones. On Friday, Coach Brian Daboll confirmed Jones will miss the team's Week 8 matchup against the rival New York Jets due to a neck injury.

Jones is believed to have initially injured his neck during a Week 5 game against the Dolphins.

Tyrod Taylor started at quarterback the last two games and is expected to be under center Sunday. Taylor has thrown for 479 yards and two touchdowns over his two starts and is 2-0 as a starter this season.

New York's offense has also undergone some personnel changes, which seems to have given Taylor some additional time to make throws from the pocket.
