On track to play Sunday Coach Joe Judge said Jones (concussion) is scheduled to be a full practice participant Friday and is expected to play Sunday against the Rams, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York...

Impact Jones has yet to fully clear the concussion protocol, but it appears he's in its final stages and will practice Friday. The 24-year-old could still receive the questionable tag if he's unable to receive full clearance by the end of the day, but he may not end up missing any additional time after suffering the concussion last weekend in Dallas.

Limited Thursday Jones (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Joe Judge told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com earlier Thursday that Jones would be capped to non-contact work, but the mere fact the quarterback already has progressed from no activity Wednesday to some one day later indicates progress through the NFL's protocol for head injuries. "At this point, everything looks positive," Judge added. Indeed, Jones handled the initial reps at Thursday's practice, but due to the fickle nature of concussions he'll likely need to increase his participation further Friday to put himself in a position to play Sunday against the Rams. If he's unable to go, Jones will yield QB duties to veteran Mike Glennon.

Progressing well through protocol Giants head coach Joe Judge said Jones (concussion) will be a non-contact participant in Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "At this point everything looks pos...

Impact After sustaining the concussion in the Giants' Week 5 loss to the Cowboys, Jones was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, but the fact that he was donning full pads and a helmet while throwing off to the side in the session was a positive sign that he was progressing through the five-step protocol. Jones' ability to take part in non-contact drills seemingly represents another step forward, though it's unclear if the quarterback's activity will translate to a "limited" listing on the Giants' official injury report. Mike Glennon will stay prepared to start Sunday against the Rams in the event Jones can't clear the protocol in time, but for the time being, the Giants appear optimistic that their top signal-caller will be available. If Jones suits up this weekend, Judge told Tom Rock of Newsday that the game plan wouldn't be altered to limit the quarterback's exposure to contact, so Jones should still have plenty of involvement as a runner.

Not practicing, not yet out Week 6 Giants head coach Joe Judge said Jones (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, but the quarterback is "on track with everything" in his recovery from the brain injury and hasn't yet...

Impact Jones isn't believed to have an extensive history of concussions, but the one he suffered in last week's loss to the Cowboys looked fairly serious, as he struggled to get back on his feet after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Though Judge was unwilling to dismiss the possibility of Jones clearing the five-step protocol before the weekend, the 24-year-old will likely need to make enough progress in his recovery to join his teammates on the field for practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a legitimate shot at playing. On a positive note, Jones was at least in attendance for Wednesday's session in an observational role, with Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record noting that the signal-caller was donning a helmet and full pads while doing some throwing off to the side. Meanwhile, Mike Glennon is taking reps with the first-team offense Wednesday and would be in line to start if Jones is ruled out for Week 6.

Sustains concussion Sunday Jones won't return to Sunday's contest at Dallas after suffering a concussion.

Impact The diagnosis comes as no surprise after Jones took not only a helmet-to-helmet hit from a Dallas defender, his helmet also hit the turf as he went to the ground. Afterward, he had trouble getting to and staying on his feet until Giants trainers got to him, and he required a cart to get to the locker room, where the concussion was confirmed. Now subject to league protocols for head injuries, Jones will yield quarterback duties for New York to Mike Glennon.

Requires cart to leave field Jones (undisclosed) needed to be carted off the field near the end of the second quarter of Sunday's game in Dallas, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Jones took a quarterback keeper to the left and was met just before the goal line by two Cowboys defenders. His helmet took hits from both one of those players and the turf, and he had difficulty getting to and staying on his feet before the Giants' training staff got to him. He likely is undergoing concussion testing and may soon be in the league's protocol for head injuries. As long as Jones is sidelined, Mike Glennon will direct the offense.
