New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll had a positive update on quarterback Daniel Jones during his Monday morning session with the beat pool.
“He doesn’t feel terrible today,” said Daboll.
The Giants are “optimistic” about Daniel Jones playing this week vs. Buffalo, per Brian Daboll. He’s “moving in the right direction” and doesn’t feel poorly after injuring his neck on Sunday.

Jones said as much after the game on Sunday.
Jones exited the Giants’ 31-16 loss to the Dolphins in Miami after being sacked by linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel early in the fourth quarter and did not return.
This Sunday’s game in Buffalo is another night game on national television and the Giants will need all hands on deck as their season teeters on the precipice of disaster.
They still may be without left tackle Andrew Thomas, who is still battling a hamstring injury, and running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). Daboll said that Barkley was ‘closer’ to coming back than Thomas is at this time.
