UNDATED (AP) — New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will not play against Miami on Sunday because of a neck injury.

Coach Joe Judge ruled out Jones on Friday after being told by the team’s medical personnel that the third-year quarterback had not been cleared for contact. Jones had practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and Thursday.

Veteran Mike Glennon will start for the Giants.

Elsewhere in the NFL:

— The Chiefs will be without starting cornerback Rashad Fenton and right tackle Lucas Niang for Sunday night’s game against the Broncos. Fenton has a knee injury and Niang is dealing with a rib injury, raising the possibility that former All-Pro lineman Kyle Long could play for the first time in two years.

— Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams will get his first start Sunday night at Kansas City if Melvin Gordon III can’t play. Gordon didn’t practice all week because of hip and shoulder injuries and was listed as doubtful Friday.

— The Seahawks could elevate Adrian Peterson from the practice squad to play against San Francisco on Sunday. Peterson was signed this week by the Seahawks due to concerns about depth at running back.

— Bears coach Matt Nagy says Justin Fields’ broken ribs haven’t improved to the extent that he can play against the Cardinals on Sunday. That means Andy Dalton will make his fourth start of the season.
