It seemed like a routine play for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who took the snap early in the third quarter and scrambled up the middle for a 7-yard gain. But after being tackled at the Bengals’ 21-yard line in the Giants’ 19-17 win at Paul Brown Stadium, Jones grabbed the back of his right leg.
He stayed in for two more plays before backup Colt McCoy came on, then tried to come back in the next series, but took himself out again after throwing a short pass to tight end Evan Engram.
