Joe Schoen Reveals Injury Update On Daniel Jones

The New York Giants will continue to roll with Daniel Jones behind center.

The Duke product has had an up-and-down career, and with his history of injuries, some thought they would move on from him this offseason.

They surely tried to do so, as HBO’s Hard Knocks showed a couple of clips of them trying to trade up in the NFL Draft.

But since that wasn’t possible, they decided to give him a prime weapon instead, taking LSU star WR Malik Nabers, one of the most polished prospects in his class.

Jones has finally been cleared for 11-on-11 drills, and GM Joe Schoen looked quite encouraged about his progress.

Talking to Kay Adams for her Up & Adams Show, Schoen stated that Jones was moving around pretty well and looked very good in his first 11-on-11 practice with the team, adding that the team liked where he was at.

He added that Jones felt well physically after that practice, so everything is right on schedule.

Jones is eight months removed from an ACL injury, and all signs point towards him being ready for the start of the season.

This will be a make-or-break season for him, as his contract’s structure could allow the Giants to cut ties with him after the season, and he’s only had one good campaign in his career.

Granted, they have failed to protect him, but with all the concerns about his multiple neck injuries, everything will be at stake for him when he takes the field next season.
