Regarding quarterback Daniel Jones’ recuperation from an ACL tear, general manager of the New York Giants Joe Schoen gave some encouraging developments.
Speaking with the media on Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine, Schoen said Jones ought to be prepared for training camp this summer.
Daniel Jones is currently “trending in the right direction,” according to Schoen. “He began throwing around two weeks ago. He’s not moving yet; he’s working statically. There’s a chance that he may play in a 7-on-7 tournament in the spring, and camp preparation is the goal.
The good news is that. The unfavourable report? Over the previous two seasons, Jones has had multiple injuries to cope with. His dismal play in general makes the Giants’ quarterback situation a contentious one at the moment. Schoen also mentioned that. He was very clear that Jones’ injury concerns will influence the team’s offseason QB decision-making.
Schoen stated, “The truth is, he’s recovering from three injuries in two years.” “Those are the facts. It is something we must take into account. We will take care of it through free agency, and if there is a chance in the draft, we will consider all available positions, not just quarterback, as we have needs all over the field.
That means that in the 2024 NFL Draft, New York will pick sixth overall. It’s still unclear if the team will choose to use that pick or move up to get a quarterback. The Giants signed Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract right before the 2018 season. Their only financial connection to him is through the 2024 campaign.
Jones, 26, was selected sixth overall from Duke in the 2019 NFL Draft. In six starts last season, he only threw two touchdowns and six interceptions before tearing his ACL.
In the unlikely event that Jones is unable to stay healthy, the Giants may decide to pursue a veteran as insurance. The more enlightening possibility, though, would be to move up for Daniel Jones’ apparent heir or use that sixth selection. On Tuesday, Schoen did not rule out that possibility.
