NFL Week 8 Injury Round-Up: Will 49ers’ Brock Purdy and Giants’ Daniel Jones Take the Field?

The Giants and 49ers are in a tough spot. The Niners come in with two consecutive losses, whereas the Giants have a win after 4 straight losses. Their upcoming games are pivotal. Amidst this, the NFL insider Ian Rapoport dropped a major update regarding the most important players of their teams, the QBs: Brock Purdy and Daniel Jones.

Coincidentally, the Niners and the Giants have their star quarterbacks, Brock Purdy and Daniel Jones, on their injured lists. The situation is as bad as it looks. However, bringing in the feeble rays of hope, Rapoport announced the updated status of these players.

Niners QB Brock Purdy and Giants’ Daniel Jones on limited practice

Niners’ fans, breathe a sigh of relief as there is a chance of the starting QB making his comeback against the Bengals this Sunday. Per the NFL insider, Purdy, who was under the concussion protocol, is now in limited practice. Niners QB1 faced a concussion this Monday after the team clashed with the Vikings. However, Purdy has progressed far enough into the league’s concussion protocol to be put under limited practice.

Moreover, the Giants’ Daniel Jones, who has already missed two games since Week 5 because of his neck injury, is still waiting on his clearance. However, if the coaches keep him under limited practice on Friday, Jones will likely miss another game. It is safe to say that a neck injury suffered against Miami might prove a bit costly to Jones this season. His position would be in danger due to the Giants’ backup Tyrod Taylor’s good performance.

Tyrod Taylor, through the years

The Giants have chosen a good backup for Jones. Tyrod Taylor, having played for more than 5 teams, the Giants’ being his sixth, comes in with a great deal of experience. Not to mention all the techniques he knows of the teams throughout the way. Moreover, Taylor is at 571 yards, with 2 TDs, along with a completion percentage of 66.3%. Given his previous statistics and numbers, if the QB2 plays exceptionally well against the Jets this Sunday, Jones sure would be in trouble.
