New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will not play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday because of a neck injury.

Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes the day before the one-year anniversary of his severe ankle injury in the same stadium against the same opponent, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants 44-20.

That means that going into tonight’s Saints-Buccaneers showdown, home teams are 65-65-1 so far this season.

The Tennessee Titans already lost left tackle Taylor Lewan for the season, and now they are without left guard Rodger Saffold.
