Sources: Giants fear Jones tore ACL in 30-6 loss

LAS VEGAS — New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones left Sunday’s 30-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half because of a noncontact knee injury, and he was officially ruled out just after halftime.

The initial fear, sources told ESPN, is that Jones has a torn ACL in his right knee. An MRI has been scheduled for Monday to determine the full extent of the injury, but there is concern this is a long-term issue.

Jones’ knee buckled on the final play of the first quarter, when he was sacked. He remained in the game, but on the first play of the second quarter he fell to the ground untouched in the middle of his dropback.

Jones, who had missed the three previous games because of a neck injury, immediately grabbed at his knee. He walked to the sideline and went into the blue medical tent for further evaluation.

After several minutes, Jones walked under his own power off the field and into the tunnel nearest to the X-ray room at Allegiant Stadium.

Tommy DeVito came into the game in Jones’ absence. The undrafted rookie threw for minus-1 yard in place of Tyrod Taylor the previous week against the New York Jets.

It has been a nightmare season for Jones and the Giants. It comes just months after he signed a four-year, $160 million contract.

Jones, 26, was 4-of-9 passing for 25 yards before leaving Sunday’s game with this latest injury. He has two touchdown passes and six interceptions this season. DeVito finished 15-of-20 passing for 175 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions.
