Almost as soon as he was back in the lineup, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones exited again. On the first play of the second quarter of New York's Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Jones went down in a heap behind the line of scrimmage while trying to maneuver his way away from pressure. 

He appeared to suffer some sort of non-contact leg injury. Jones got up and briefly tried to walk to either the huddle or the sideline, but quickly went back down to the ground. He was removed from the game and replaced by backup Tommy DeVito. 

Jones could be heard on the sideline telling teammate Saquon Barkley that he doesn't know what happened, "it just buckled," according to Fox Sports. After entering the medical tent, Jones walked to the locker room under his own power with trainers.

Jones had sat out New York's last three games with a neck injury he suffered during the Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was relieved by the combination of Tyrod Taylor and DeVito. Taylor went on injured reserve earlier this week due to a rib injury, elevating DeVito to the primary backup spot. New York went 1-2 in Jones' absence, losing to the Bills and Jets and defeating the Commanders.

Jones has struggled badly this season, regressing hard after showing improvement a year ago. Prior to going 4 of 9 for 25 yards and taking two sacks on Sunday, he had completed 68.9% of his passes but at an average of only 5.9 yards per attempt -- a career low. He also had been intercepted on 4.0% of his attempts, by far the highest mark of his career, and had taken a sack on an astronomical 15.6% of his dropbacks, almost twice his career average.

Injuries along the offensive line have played a role in the backslide, but Jones also simply has not played well even when put in position to succeed. Now, he's suffered what could potentially be his second serious injury of the season, his first after signing a four-year, $160 million deal this offseason to remain in New York.
