Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was excluded from full-squad drills during mandatory minicamp as part of the Giants’ effort to slowly recover him from his torn ACL. Giants coach Brian Daboll acknowledged that was not Jones’ preference.
“He’s not very happy about that.“said Daboll, through the New York Post.
Jones would have preferred more work during minicamp, but acknowledged that Daboll had his reasons.
“No, I wasn’t excited, but I’m not the coach, I don’t make those calls,” Jones said. “I understand that Dabs wanted to work a lot as a team, and that’s what they did. Yes, it wasn’t what I liked the most, but that’s not my job.”
Jones said his knee feels good and he doesn’t expect to have any restrictions on what he can do when training camp begins. After a nasty start last season and an abrupt end with his knee injury, Jones needs to be much better in 2024. The Giants believe patience with his injury is the best way to do that.
