Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) questionable to play vs. Commanders

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is officially listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Washington Commanders due to a lingering neck injury.

Coach Brian Daboll previously said that the signal-caller, who got in limited practice work throwing this week, was still not cleared for contact. Jones would start if cleared. It could be a stretch for the QB to return at this stage, but the club kept the door ajar Friday.
