The New York Giants kicked off their training camp with quarterback Daniel Jones fully cleared to participate after recovering from a season-ending ACL tear in 2023. Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that Jones was ready to go and would be taking all the reps with the first team during practice. Jones was seen making plays during 11-on-11 drills, including a rollout pass to Darius Slayton and an accurate deep ball to Malik Nabers.
As Jones continues his recovery, the team will be monitoring how his body responds to the increased workload. General manager Joe Schoen emphasized the importance of communication with Jones about how his knee and body are feeling. This training camp is crucial for Jones as he looks to solidify his position as the Giants’ starting quarterback after a challenging season last year.
Despite facing pressure to perform well this season, Jones remains focused on the task at hand and grateful for the opportunity to play football. The Giants’ interest in drafting a quarterback, as well as signing Drew Lock in the offseason, has added to the speculation about Jones’ future with the team. Schoen mentioned that the organization is still evaluating whether Jones is the long-term solution at quarterback.
With the upcoming season being pivotal for Jones and the Giants, all eyes will be on how he performs during training camp and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates on the Giants and Daniel Jones as the season progresses.
