The New York Giants were missing Daniel Jones against Cleveland, but that should change when they take on Baltimore tomorrow. Jones has been struggling with a hamstring injury and a further ankle injury for weeks now, but the team is opting to bring him back instead of shutting him down for the season with two games left. At least, that’s according to what a source told ESPN about the subject.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is expected to start Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens after missing last week’s game with ankle and hamstring injuries, a source told ESPN.
Jones last played against the Arizona Cardinals but had big troubles owing to his lack of mobility. Presumably, the Giants have learned their lesson after that time and are confident that Jones won’t suffer from the same issue in this game. Before that point, Jones had missed the Seahawks game outright – but the Giants were able to achieve victory regardless with Colt McCoy.
Reports from earlier in the week indicate the staff is more confident in Jones’ movement and recovery. However, that’s not to say that he’s returned to practicing with no limits just yet.
Going into this game, Jones is an important addition for the Giants because they technically still have a chance in the playoff race. If the Giants win out in the last two games and Washington loses one of their last two games, they’ll make it in.
But that’s a tall task considering the current state of the team, and we won’t know until Sunday if Jones will be able to play at a hundred percent strength and contribute to that outcome.
