I understand it's non-contact. But anything could happen. What if he slips and falls? What if someone is inadvertently pushed into him? What if he just further injures it by turning his head quickly? Any of a number of unintentional things could happen. There's no way he's practicing with a serious structural neck injury. Again, just MO. Must be why Jack Eichel is skating around after neck surgey yet is nowhere near playing. Some people said Jack would be out the whole season. Now they expect him back practicing with the team within 3 weeks.

He isn’t cleared for contact and he isn’t going to be a for a long time, if ever. So you think if that was the case he would still be on the practice field participating ? I don't really care what he is doing on the practice field. He isn't cleared for contact. He can run around with a red jersey on, throw passes, wear a helmet, run around, whatever. Until he is allowed to take a hit again hes nothing.

All I can say is if he's practicing it can't be that serious. Just MO. There's a difference between participating in fluff drills and not being cleared for contact because of a neck injury. I think any neck injury that doctors do not clear for regular football contact is serious. You're right. But, that said, if he had a herniated disc in his neck, odds are he wouldn't be practicing. Might just be a bulging disc. Much less serious and not necessarily career threatening.

I find it interesting fans seem to know all about the Jones injury and that there is "structural damage" to his neck yet he is practicing and helping out on the scout team? The man went to Duke he isn't stupid. I would think if there was any chance of him and further damage or injury he wouldn't have a helmet on. Its quite simple actually if you read the reports. The injury isn't from a functional stand point I.E movement of the neck. They're getting tests done to evaluate if it can become something more severe due to contact. Big difference in having a football helmet on looking left in right in practice than getting blindsided and having your neck whiplashed after sustaining some sort of injury to it recently.. Should go without saying, but apparently not. Nobody knows what the hell is going on except for those in the know. As fans we discuss what we hear.

The DJ injury is a blessing in disguise. Hope he heals but they need to move on from him.

Hopefully we never draft another QB out of the QB factory known as Duke anymore.

This is starting to remind me more and more of the David Wilson situation. Obviously more is going on than a "strain". It looks like that carpenter rumor about him being done for the season might have been true after all.

What a frustrating season Lose starting LG Lemieux in preseason for the season. Lose starting C Gates in Week 2 for the season. Lose starting MLB Martinez in Week 3 for the season. 72 million dollar WR is not a full strength early in the season. Lose 2 games to ATL (on Eli Manning Day) and Washington we had no business losing. After finally having a big game vs the Saints and looking like his old self coming back from ACL tear, lose Barkley to a freak roll of an ankle accident. After a HUGE breakout games vs Dallas/New Orleans and some sliver of excitement to watch in this lost season.....Kadarius Toney is injured and hasn't been seen or the same since. Finally fire our awful offensive coordinator, 11 months too late, and all the excitement to see what Daniel Jones can do in the remaining 7 games of the season is now in jeopardy possibly to a season ending injury that the team is keeping close to the vest. No DJ in modified offense and no chance to evaluate him. Man, what have we done to be so cursed? Aaaaaaaaand we just lost our best player on defense.

If this fool really lucks into a 4th year on this team I've lost all hope for the Giants organization. this fool who’s been handed nothing to work with the past two years? The guy who’s the only reason the giants have been in any of these games? That fool? So I guess they draft a qb who’s gong to magically come in here and turn water Into wine? That qb does not exist.

Assuming Dave is gone (please let that be true) I agree completely. A new GM will have no allegiance to Daniel Jones.....or Saquan Barkley.
All bets are off for 2022.
I bought in on DJ but thought it was too high of a pick, SB I was no in agreement but bought in on his talent would give the Giants a serious weapon to build an offense upon. I was wrong both times DJ is up & down not consistent enough and the last two games have proven to me he is not the QB to lead this team forward. SB just to many injuries and he cannot run inside he is better as a speciality back and in space too much of luxury for the price he'll want to be paid. I am with you time to move on with yet again another reset but I see no other option at this point. Maybe Judge survives. actual football minds have literally said You cant fairly evaluate Dj given the circumstances he’s been handed, but you have it all figured out?

actually why I've been saying all year we must be snakebitten and cursed!!! smdh
but if we move on from Jones now we gotta worry about possibly losing draft capital to get a qb and still he not being the franchise for years to come; though still not fixing the O line the way we envisioned potentially either

Whenever the word “spine specialist” is present, it’s serious. The Giants are being coy with this, but it’s clear as day Jones neck injury is far worse than they’re saying. You could be dead, and the Giants would diagnose it as being very sleepy.

You could be dead, and the Giants would diagnose it as being very sleepy. So here is my complete guess on this: bulging disc in his spine/neck. No way the Gints clear him for contact with that, but Jones is looking for a way back on the field.

Jones aint no IronManning, thats for sure. Running QBs who don't slide get you this.
All shitting on it aside, I hope he is ok outside of football. He seems like a nice kid. Just drafted way too early and to a terrible team going through puberty at the moment.
This reminds me of David Wilson all over again.
Adios DJ
Stuck in QB hell is correct.

Amazing some of us were taking heat for saying he was an idiot for the way he ran. After the concussion I had my hopes up that he had finally learned his lesson and would stop doing that shit but some here praised him for his toughness and willingness. Yeah, that’s great and all when you’re a RB or even a WR but as a QB he puts the entire team at jeopardy every time he does that. Unless it’s a playoff game or Super Bowl it’s just dumb to take unnecessary risks. I hate using the term “I said” but I said if he keeps running like that he won’t last more than a few years in the league and even if he was “the guy” then we’d be f’ed and looking for a new QB. A few years was obviously being optimistic, he didn’t even make it to the end of the season. It amazes me the coaches didn’t get on his ass about it either. Dumb and Dumber.

But we were told it’s nothing but a neck strain and crick, like what you get when you sleep wrong. Who told you that? Was it JJ? The team? Or just people online? I do not blame them for being cautious since the season is basically over. Seems like some folks that only complained they dont want DJ to play QB for the Giants are now complaining that DJ is not playing QB for the Giants.

Esteemed member of this community May be best to go by other sources then Right. There are no legitimate sources here, that theory was debunked long ago. All we actually learned was that any poster that has to point out they were right about some random thing more than likely has been wrong about most everything else.

I had 2 herniated disc in my lower back and the military hospital said I had a " lower back strain" I went to the emergency room at an off post hospital and they did an MRI and told me I had to 2 herniated disc in my lower back.
