The Giants closed out a 20-12 win against the Bears in Week 4 to improve to 3-1 on the season, but they had to do it without a healthy quarterback.New York lost Daniel Jones to an apparent ankle injury late in the third quarter. He was deemed questionable to return.Before exiting, Jones had completed 8 of 13 pa ses for 71 yards in the rain-soaked contest at MetLife Stadium. He had much more succe s on the ground, running for 68 yards and two touchdowns on six carries.Daniel Jones left ankle getting taped up and the play he got injured Talkin Giants (@TalkinGiants) Jones' lo s wasn't thought to be a major problem for the Giants. They had an experienced quarterback behind him in Tyrod Taylor, and hecame onto the field to start the fourth quarter.MORE: Taylor began each of the Giants' first two fourth-quarter drives on the field, but then he had to exit to be evaluated for a concu sion. He did not return.That left the Giants in a tough spot. They had no healthy quarterbacks on the roster, so they had to go Glen Perkins Jersey to a Wildcat offense with Saquon Barkley in the QB spot and Matt Breida as the running back for the last half of the fourth quarter.SAQUON BARKLEY IS IN AT QUARTERBACK!!!!I REPEAT, QUARTERBACK!!!!Both of the Giants QBs are injured. Darren M. Haynes (@DarrenMHaynes) But despite Jones' injury, he came back onto the field.Jones split out wide on several snaps but didn't move much during the actual plays. It was clear that he was laboring as he walked with a noticeable limp between plays.MORE: So, why did the Giants put him on the field? Coach Brian Daboll said after the game that it wasn't part of his original plan. Jones wanted to go. I said, 'You're not going in the game. I saw you limping. I'm not I'm not risking you getting injured to try to protect yourself with that limp with that limp.Daboll also asked Jones if he would be ready to return to the game if needed after he suffered his injury. Jones said he could go in, but Daboll opted to roll with Taylor."'If we need you, hopefully it'd be just to hand the ball off,'" Daboll said of his words to Jones. "And so when Tyrod went down, I flicked over to quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney and said, 'Good to go?' He said, 'Yep.' And we didn't pa s it, just handed it off.'"In e sence, Joneshealthy enough to be on the field but not healthy enough to do everything that he normally would at quarterback. That's why Daboll believed that running the Wildcat late in the game was "the best thing to do."MORE: Some may be wondering why the Giants risked Jones at all instead of playing a receiver. Football Zebras speculated that Jones may have been needed as a conduit for offensive communication.Odd situation for the NYG with both quarterbacks injured. Saquon Barkley is taking snaps and Daniel Jacob is coming in as a receiver. Jones has the coach-to-player communication in his helmet, so he's out there only to relay the play. F Zs (@footballzebras) Quarterbacks do wear the green-dotted helmet that houses the coach-to-player communication system. That could be another explanation for Jones' presence. But the Giants could have come up with a system to get play calls in without Jones.Daboll didn't provide many updates about Jones after the game, saying that he was still in the proce s of collecting news on injured players. He did, however, announce that Jones was getting X-rays, so his status moving forward bears watching. So does Taylor's.If both Jones and Taylor are sidelined, the Giants will have just one healthy quarterback in their organization: practice squad member Davis Webb, who was a third-round pick by the Giants in 2017.
