Despite back to back losses, there’s some good news right now for the New York Giants. Both of those losses have had something to do with the injury to Daniel Jones, but reports indicate that Jones is getting ready for a comeback on Sunday against Baltimore.

As expected, Jones was still limited when the Giants took to the field once again on Thursday in practice.
Darnay Holmes was also a limited participant while Golden Tate didn’t participate at all due to a calf injury. Evan Engram, on the other hand, has a calf injury of his own but was a full participant in practice. The same goes for offensive lineman Matt Peart, who is dealing with an ankle injury but was a full participant.
Joe Judge recently confirmed that Jones is the team’s quarterback – at least for the near future.
It remains to be seen, however, if Jones will be fully healthy going into this future game. We’ve already seen that his play is significantly worse when movement isn’t an option. Against Baltimore this Sunday, much of the game may just come down to whether or not Jones is playing healthy enough to perform like his best self.
It’s still relatively early in the week, though, so as the game on Sunday gets closer, we’ll get a better look at the progress of Jones’ return.
