Taylor, who replaced Jones for 12 plays and was supposed to finish out the game, left with a fourth-quarter concussion and will have to go through a newly tightened league-wide protocol to be cleared. <\/p>\n<p>So, the Giants&#8217; starter next Sunday in London against the Packers could be Jones or Taylor or practice-squad elevation Davis Webb.  The backup could be Taylor, Webb or someone signed off the street if Webb starts \u2014 he showed a mastery of the offense he has been in for four years during the preseason \u2014 and neither of the first two options is ready to go.  Head coach Brian Daboll offered no postgame clarity on availability, though he claimed Jones could&#8217;ve thrown a pass if needed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I&#8217;ll listen to the doctors and trainers, take their advice and go from there,\u201d Jones said.  \u201cI&#8217;m going to do everything that I can to play, for sure.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><figcaption>The Giants have a massive hole at QB after Daniel Jones, left, and Tyrod Taylor both got injured. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports (2)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/083122JetsBK43.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Davis Webb\" class=\"wp-image-24097609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/083122JetsBK43.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/083122JetsBK43.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/083122JetsBK43.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/083122JetsBK43.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Davis Webb<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If further testing confirms a high ankle sprain for Jones, it would be his third in four years.  Jones missed two consecutive starts in 2019 and two starts in a three-game span in 2020. When Jones tried to play in a pinch two weeks after his high ankle sprain in 2020, he had one of the worst games of his career as a sitting duck sacked eight times. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>After Jones was left hobbled by a sack late in the third quarter, Taylor began loosening on the sideline.  Jones ran sprints in the bench area and tried to talk his way back into the game. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wanted to go,\u201d head coach Brian Daboll said.  \u201cI said, &#8216;You&#8217;re not going into the game.  I see you&#8217;re limping.  I&#8217;m not risking you getting injured to try to protect yourself with that limp.  But if we need you, can you go back in the game?&#8217;  He said, &#8216;Yeah.  I can go in the game now.&#8217;  \u201d <\/p>\n<p>Taylor&#8217;s concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit left no other option because Webb is on the practice squad and only the 46 active players are eligible for the game.  Jones returned to the game for three plays as a stationary wide receiver just so that he could call plays in the huddle since his helmet has the headset to offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.  He eventually returned under center to hand off. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/100222GiantsBK35.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tyrod Taylor is helped off the field. \" class=\"wp-image-24097353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/100222GiantsBK35.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/100222GiantsBK35.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/100222GiantsBK35.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/100222GiantsBK35.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Tyrod Taylor is helped off the field. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI feel good,\u201d Jones said.  \u201cA little sore but all good.
