Giants' Glennon to start vs. Chargers after clearing concussion protocol

New York Giants quarterback Mike Glennon will start Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers after clearing concussion protocol Friday, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

Starting signal-caller Daniel Jones was ruled out. He continues to deal with a neck injury that sidelined him for the Giants' 20-9 defeat to the Miami Dolphins last week.

New York will also be without wide receiver Kadarius Toney (oblique) and cornerback Adoree' Jackson (quad) in Week 14.

Glennon passed for 187 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions in the loss to Miami. He's believed to have sustained the concussion against the Dolphins, but he didn't leave the game.

Third-string quarterback Jake Fromm, who received first-team snaps in practice this week, will serve as Glennon's backup. The 23-year-old recently signed with the club after being on the Buffalo Bills' practice squad.

The Giants (4-8) sit last in the NFC East with five games remaining.
