The New York Giants are off to their best start in 11 years, yet are in a major pickle regarding their quarterback situation as they head to London for a Week 5 showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Daniel Jones has been dealing with an ankle injury that may keep him sidelined for this week, and Tyrod Taylor is in the concussion protocol.
With Jones and Taylor likely unavailable, the Giants have Davis Webb on the practice squad, and he’s projected to be called up and start Sunday. Still, New York will need another quarterback to back up Webb.
“We’ll probably work out a few quarterbacks,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday. “Whether we sign them or not, I think that’s dependent on some of these guys here.”
What will it take for Jones to actually play Sunday? Daboll won’t jump to conclusions yet, but he’s preparing for the scenario Webb may be his QB1 this week.
“I’m just going to take it each day and see how he is,” Daboll said of Jones. “If he can practice and go out there and perform the things we need him to do, great. If he needs a day, he needs a day. I think it’s case-by-case with all those guys.
“Obviously, he’s played a lot of football. I trust him and where he’s at. I just think that we as a coaching staff have got to do a good job of watching him, evaluating him, getting all the information we need to get to make the best decision for him and the team as we can.”
What are the Giants’ options for a potential starter and backup on Sunday if Jones and Taylor can’t go? The cupboard is bare.
