New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' injury has hardly gotten a positive update, although the 26-year-old claims his current neck injury differs from the one he suffered two years ago.

"It's a different injury and I think when you see other guys that have similar situations as mine and they're able to progress and come back. I'm following a similar timeline to that. That's kind of the optimism and it's a different injury than last time," Jones said to reporters via the Giants' official website.

It will be recalled that Jones missed the final six games of the 2021 NFL season due to a neck problem. The neck issue he is currently dealing with cropped up after their Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins on October 8.

Although he claims that the injuries are different, the reality is that he is not yet medically cleared to play. Jones admitted that he still has to do things to obtain medical clearance, the New York Post reported.

"There are certain things that I haven't done yet," the 26-year-old stated.

Jones was with the team on Wednesday during practice but was a limited participant. He was able to throw, run, and lift weights. This will hold until he is symptom-free from his neck injury.

Until he gets medically cleared, Jones will be on the sidelines. He is not expected to suit up on Sunday, October 29, when the Giants face the New York Jets.

The Jets are favorites to prevail over the Giants, per USA Today.
