Daniel Jones still needs more time heal and is unlikely to suit up for the New York Giants against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler was specifically told the starting quarterback is considered a "longshot" to play.

After returning to practice and participating in individual drills Wednesday, there was muted optimism that Jones could potentially return for the division game. He suffered his neck injury two weeks ago when he was sacked in the Giants' game against the Miami Dolphins.

On Saturday, however, New York announced that it was elevating quarterback Tommy DeVito from the practice squad. That indicated that Jones would most likely not play, and Tyrod Taylor, who started against the Buffalo Bills, will be playing under center.

Taylor completed 24 of 36 passes for 200 yards against Bills and nearly led the Giants to a comeback victory in the 14-9 loss.
