Giants QB Daniel Jones to start vs. Texans
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is expected to start the team's next preseason game, coach Brian Daboll said Sunday. Jones will be under center as the Giants battle the host Houston Texans on Saturday. The game action will be Jones' first since he sustained a torn ACL in New York's 30-6 setback to the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 5. Jones sat out the Giants' preseason opener, a 14-3 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Daboll didn't tip his hand at just how many snaps Jones will see versus Houston. "I have an idea right now, but I want to go through these three practices (including full pads workouts Monday and Tuesday)," Daboll said. "We'll talk about it as a coaching staff as the week goes on and end up talking with the players. I do envision Daniel playing if everything is (OK) ... trainers, practices, all those type of things. The plan is to play him." Drew Lock is nursing an oblique injury suffered against the Lions. However, Daboll said Sunday that the Giants don't intend to add another quarterback to the mix. "Because we'll see where Drew is at," Daboll said, when asked about a potential move. "If he's good to go, he's good to go. Obviously, we talked about it, but we'll see where he's at. He feels a little bit better than he did that night and the next morning. He'll do some running on the side, then he won't practice. He won't practice today. I don't think he'll practice tomorrow, probably not the next day, but we'll go all the way to the end (of the week)." Quarterback Tommy DeVito also is on New York's roster. Signed to a four-year, $160 million contract in the 2023 offseason, Jones threw two touchdown passes and six interceptions in six games in 2023. He also missed three games with a neck injury. Jones, 27, is 22-36-1 as a starter with 62 touchdown passes and 40 picks in 60 games (59 starts) since being selected by the Giants with the No. 6 overall pick in 2019 NFL Draft out of Duke. --Field Level Media.
