The New York Giants lost their week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders by 24 points. During the game, they also lost their franchise quarterback Daniel Jones to an ACL injury. He will be out for the entire 2023 NFL season. It is a body blow for a team that has already been struggling this season. Against the Raiders, Jones had his knee bend awkwardly in the first quarter. He was ruled out of the game following that.

Jones left the game having completed 4 of his 9 pass attempts for a mere 25 yards. Tommy DeVito replaced Jones for the rest of the game and he finished with 175 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. With backup Tyrod Taylor already on the injured reserve, the Giants are thin in the quarterback room. One of DeVito or Matt Barkley will be handed the reins till the end of the season.

DeVito, an undrafted rookie from Illinois, has attempted 27 pass attempts in the NFL so far, completing 17 of them. He has 174 passing yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. New York might end up in the running to select a quarterback in the loaded 2024 NFL Draft. He talked about Jones’ injury after the game against the Raiders.

He's in my prayers and the whole team's prayers, we're hoping for him to be back.

Tommy DeVito on Dan Jones

Jones led the Giants to the Divisional Round last season. He had a good season, which led to the Giants extending him to a massive four-year, $160 million contract in this year’s offseason. However, the fifth-year QB failed to replicate his 2022 performances this season.

Brian Daboll talked about Daniel Jones’ injury after the game

The New York Giants suffered a terrible 24-point loss against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. They also lost their franchise QB Daniel Jones to an ACL injury. He tore his ACL in the first quarter of the game. Head coach Brian Daboll spoke about it after the game.

Tough. You never want your guys to go down. He has worked really hard to get back and it's unfortunate.

Brian Daboll said about Dan Jones

Jones was eventually ruled out for the game as backup QB Tommy DeVito took over from him. He is expected to be the team’s quarterback for the rest of the season.

The Giants slip further to a 2-7 record after the loss to the Raiders. They will play their next game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. It is shaping up to be a long season for the Giants, especially with Jones out for the rest of it. They have one of the worst records in the NFL this year and with Jones out, they just might have an eye on Caleb Williams next year given their current season is nothing short of disaster halfway down.
