Colt McCoy

On Monday, head coach Joe Judge outlined what the team will be looking for before making a call about who starts this weekend. Daniel Jones was able to do a little bit at practice this week despite his injured hamstring and Judge said the team wants to be sure Jones’ injury doesn’t leave him as a sitting duck for the opposing pass rush.

“We’re going to give him every opportunity to go on the practice field this week and show that he can defend himself on the field properly,” Judge said, via Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. “If that’s the case, we obviously want him to play."

The G-men want to make sure Jones can side step and avoid defenders, etc., while on the field. As the story said, the Giants will be back on the practice field on Wednesday and that session should provide a better idea about how likely it is that Jones will be part of their continued push for a division title.
