The New York Giants are looking at Week 10’s meeting with the Cowboys as a potential date for quarterback Daniel Jones to make his return from injury. That news came Saturday from NFL insider Adam Schefter, who cited league sources.
Jones last played Oct. 8 in a 31-16 loss to Miami; a neck injury has sidelined him since. While there is reportedly a chance the fifth-year passer could make his comeback next week in a visit to Las Vegas, Jones has not even been cleared for contact yet, making that timeline unlikely.
As Schefter notes, “the road game in Dallas is the realistic goal, provided there are no setbacks with Jones’ neck injury, according to sources.”
Tyrod Taylor has been the starter in Jones’s place. The journeyman led Big Blue to a near-upset of Buffalo in Week 6 and notched the team’s second win of the season last week versus Washington. He has not committed a turnover in either of his two starts.

Dallas pounded the Giants by a 40-0 score in the season opener, picking off Jones twice and returning one for a touchdown, causing him to fumble twice, holding him to just 104 passing yards, and sacking him seven times.
Jones is 1-7 against the Cowboys in his pro career with five career interceptions, his most against any opponent.
