Jones has experienced some ups and downs this summer that have not been health-related. He's taken every first-team snap and hasn't looked physically limited by the knee. The Giants have even had Jones running quarterback draws throughout training camp."I mean, I always think it's valuable to get game reps and to feel that. My knee feels good, and I feel ready to go," Jones said recently.
This is a critical year for the Giants and Jones, who is entering the second year of a four-year, $160 million deal that provides the team a reasonable escape after this season. New York already flirted with replacing Jones this offseason., who signed a deal with $5 million fully guaranteed this offseason to serve as Jones' backup, was injured in the preseason opener this week. He's dealing with a hip pointer and abdominal strain, multiple sources told ESPN.
New York also is supposed to get starting center John Michael Schmitz back before the start of the regular season.
