The Facts: The New York Giants are eyeing a potential Week 10 return against the Dallas Cowboys for Jones, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Diehards Line: Jones could possibly return from the neck injury that has sidelined him three straight games for the Nov. 5 game at Las Vegas against the Raiders, but that scenario is unlikely considering that he still has not been cleared for contact, according to Schefter's sources. This leaves the Cowboys game as the current most likely scenario for Jones' return, although the Giants and the fifth-year quarterback still are adjusting and adapting to his progress on a week-to-week basis. Delaying Jones' return beyond next week's Raiders game would leave Jones with two more weeks to regain strength in his left arm and get required medical clearance, while the Giants can continue to proceed cautiously. But the road game in Dallas is the realistic goal, provided there are no setbacks with Jones' neck injury, according to Schefter's sources. Tyrod Taylor will continue to start until Jones returns.
