Daniel Jones suffers a torn ACL for the Giants in latest setback
Danny Dimes is now out for the season
Things just keep getting worse for the NY Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones. The fifth-year signal-caller went down with a serious knee injury against the Raiders on Sunday and it was announced on Monday that he indeed tore his ACL.
Just like that, Jones is out for the rest of the season and there will be a race against time for him to be ready for Week 1 in 2024. Jones was also dealing with a neck injury which he suffered in Week 5. You've got to feel for Jones.

This past offseason, Jones signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Giants. The hope was that he'd be able to live up to the hype and get the G-Men back to the playoffs. However, he's done only after six games player in 2023. No one saw this coming.
