Daniel Jones wants a Giants preseason test after ACL recovery

Daniel Jones is ready to put his surgically repaired ACL through a final test — if the Giants are onboard.

After the first of what will be two joint practices against the Lions, Jones was asked if he would like to play in Thursday’s preseason opener against Detroit as a way to test his knee against a live pass rush .

Head coach Brian Daboll deferred the decision until later in the week.

“Yeah, I’d like to play,” Jones said. “At the end of the day, that’s coach’s decision and I’ll do whatever Dabes’ thinks.”

Jones played just one possession in the preseason last year when there were no injury questions.

“I think we try to make practice as game-like as possible and get real game-speed reps in practice to make sure you’re ready to go,” Jones said. “Regardless of what Dabes decides this coming game, I’ll be ready to go when given the chance.”

Jones hasn’t looked tentative taking every 11-on-11 rep of practice so far. And he didn’t look hesitant Monday when he was in the fray during a fight .

“I always think it’s valuable to get game reps,” Jones said. “My knee feels good. I’ve tested it and done everything that I need to do to make sure it’s ready to go.”

Daboll indicated that his mind is not made up on whether Jones will play in any of the preseason games, including Aug. 17 against the Texans and Aug. 24 against the Jets ( when there is a chance Aaron Rodgers plays coming off of his torn Achille s).

“We’ll talk about that,” Daboll said. “We’ll do what we think is best for our team.”
