New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a ribs injury in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Jets and will not return, the team announced.<\/p>\n
The Giants also announced that Taylor has been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.<\/p>\n
Taylor was injured midway through the second quarter after he attempted to run after catching a deflected pass. Taylor was taken down by Jets defenders Quinnen Williamsand C.J. Mosley, and Taylor immediately was attended to by trainers.<\/p>\n
Taylor was starting his third consecutive game in relief of Daniel Jones, who is still recovering from a neck injury he suffered earlier this season. NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Sunday morning that Jones’ injury is not considered a season-ending one, but one of the issues is that it has caused significant weakness in his left (non-throwing) arm<\/p>\n
Rookie Tommy DeVito, who signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois, replaced Taylor under center.<\/p>\n
