The goal for Jones has always been to be medically cleared for the start of training camp, at the end of July. That has not changed. Jones He’s been on the practice field for all three voluntary sessions of organized team activities (except for the 11-on-11 portions) this week, and he’s moving well.
Jones He’s not even wearing a knee pad.
“His movement skills have been good,” the head coach said. Brian Daboll before practice.
Jones He is convinced, given the progress he has experienced, that he will be ready for the start of the season.
“No, I have no doubt about it now,” he said.
The immediate future of Jones I wasn’t so sure, just last month. Multiple sources have told ESPN that the Giants They were looking to rise in the order of selections to one of the first three positions in the draft of the NFL with a trade, where the belief is that the quarterback Drake Maye would have been the target. An agreement never materialized, and the New England Patriots they took Intoxication third overall.

He gave to Jones relief.
“Yeah, I wasn’t excited about that,” he declared. Joneslaughing about the notion of Giants taking a quarterback with his first snap. “I think that’s part of it at this level, like I said. What I can do is focus on myself. Heal and play the best football that I can play, and that I know I’m capable of playing. That’s my job and it’s what I’m going to do”.
Jones He said he was sitting at home watching the draft like the rest of us. The Giants They have said that they sent a text message to Jones just before choosing, it is his turn to finally become an explosive player that can lead him to success. They took the wide receiver LSU, Malik Naberssixth overall.
There was no talk about the team’s search for a quarterback.

“I don’t think you can take anything personally at this level,” he said. “Exactly how it happened and what happened? I’m not sure I know, I’m not sure you know. At the end of the day, I’m focused on playing good football.”
That would be the best possible scenario for a critical campaign. The Giants they signed Jones to a four-year, $160 million deal last season, but can reasonably escape that deal after next season.
At the moment, the two sides appear to be on firm ground.
“Yes, I feel good about where we’re going,” he said. Jones. “I feel good about this team and my job is to get healthy and play good football.”
To the Giants They like what they’ve seen so far in the spring. It’s the reason why Jones They practiced on the covered field at the team’s facilities on Thursday, even though the rain forced them inside.
It’s the reason he’s progressed to 7-on-7 drills.
“It looks good,” he revealed. Daball. “We’re not going to put him into team things, but he’s showing progress, and that’s why we put him in 7-on-7 work.”
Jones He feels good about where he is two months into training camp. So well, that it is not out of the question to receive a full medical discharge ahead of schedule.
“Just continue day by day with the process,” he said. “I think we’re in a good place. Obviously, the goal was to be ready for the first day of training camp, but I’m going to push to be ready as soon as possible. I have a lot of confidence and faith in our athletic trainers and coaches.”
