DANIEL JONES NEWS

Set to play in second preseason game Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Jones will likely play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Impact Jones received full medical clearance ahead of training camp after completing his recovery from November surgery to repair an ACL tear, but the Giants nonetheless chose to hold him out of their 14-3 win over the Lions in the preseason opener Thursday. No. 2 quarterback Drew Lock received the start and suffered a hip injury that will keep him from suiting up against the Texans, so Tommy DeVito now stands to operate as the top backup to Jones on Saturday. Daboll didn't go into specifics regarding how long Jones might stay in the game against the Texans, but the 27-year-old signal-caller should at least get a series or two.

Not expected to play Thursday Jones isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason opener against Detroit, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same is true for most of the Giants' other starters, including new No. 1 receiver Malik Nabers. Raanan notes that the second week of the preseason, against Houston, is when the Giants are most likely to play starters. There haven't been any reports of setbacks with Jones' surgically repaired knee.

Impact Daboll even said Jones is "getting all the reps" with the first-team offense, essentially confirming that the 27-year-old will be New York's Week 1 starter. However, Daboll didn't shut down the possibility of Jones being benched later in the season to avoid future injury guarantees in his contract, instead telling reporters that any such consideration is a "ways down the road," per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. The combination of Jones' rushing ability and an improved receiving corps in New York could make him a surprisingly useful second QB in fantasy leagues, but he should probably be dropped down the rankings in formats that put a premium on late-season production. In addition to the risk of a situation like Russell Wilson's in Denver late last year, there's always the possibility Jones is simply benched in favor of Drew Lock for performance reasons, not to mention concerns about Jones' rushing production dropping after an ACL tear and lengthy rehab process.

Will be active for training camp Jones (knee) won't be placed on the PUP list and will be active from the start of training camp next week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jones said early Tuesday during an appearance on the "Simms Complete" podcast that he's had no setbacks in his recovery from last November's ACL surgery, and the Giants' decision not to place him on the PUP list essentially confirms that. This news means the QB is unlikely to have any limitations in preparing for the upcoming campaign and will be ready to go as New York's Week 1 starter, assuming he doesn't incur any new health issues prior to the beginning of the season. Jones will lead a new-look Giants offense that lost Saquon Barkley in free agency and Darren Waller to retirement in the offseason while adding new first-string RB Devin Singletary and exciting rookie Malik Nabers, who is slated to be the team's No. 1 wideout.

Impact Jones didn't explicitly say that he's been medically cleared for the start of training camp next week, but he previously said in June that he expects to be on the field for the Giants' first practice of the summer. Once he's fully cleared for 11-on-11 contact drills, a healthy Jones will once again look to prove that he's the Giants' long-term answer at quarterback. The Giants eschewed using the No. 6 overall pick in April's draft on a signal-caller and instead selected wideout Malik Nabers, and the front office appears to be betting on the addition of the dynamic receiver and better health from the offensive line being enough to prop up the Jones-led offense. Jones is entering the second season of the four-year, $160 million contract he signed in March 2023, and if the Giants elect to go in a different direction at quarterback following the 2024 campaign, the team would have to take on only $22.2 million in dead money by cutting him.
