Daniel Jones is already dealing with another injury!
After being out for three weeks due to a neck issue, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones made his return for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the happy moment wouldn’t last long. In the second quarter, Jones was forced to leave the game after his leg appeared to buckle, resulting in a right knee injury.
Jones didn’t return.
Tommy DeVito, who is an un-drafted rookie, replaced Jones.
Before being taken out, Jones threw for 25 yards off 4-for-9 passing, also tallying nine yards from two rushes.

Initial thoughts:
1. Meniscal tear
2. MCL sprain
3. ACL tear (possibly all 3)Here’s the play ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/X34WifPZEm

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn also suffered a major injury Sunday. A brutal hit by Atlanta Falcons defenders left him utterly frozen, and trainers eventually carted him off the field.

In other NFL news that should be spotlighted, the New England Patriots could potentially be swapping coach Bill Belichick for Mike Vrabe during the offseason. (RELATED: Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Arthur Smith Blasts Kurt Warner Over His ‘Hot Take’)
“Two sources close to the Patriots have independently said the same thing: They believe Vrabel, currently the Titans’ coach, is the Krafts’ ‘home run’ choice to succeed Belichick,” The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin wrote.
