Daniel Jones (neck) practicing in full for Giants
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is practicing in full for Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, per head coach Brian Daboll.
Jones is practicing without any limitations for the first time since injuring his neck in Week 5. He's expected to start on Sunday against the Raiders. Tommy DeVito will likely be the backup because Tyrod Taylor is week-to-week with a rib cage injury. Jones' return could actually be a slight downgrade for the offense, based on how he played from Weeks 1-5 before the injury.
