Daniel Jones, 9 months after knee injury, handles 'higher intensity' practice

DANIEL-JONES-FORD

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Nine months ago today, Daniel Jones' 2023 season ended when he tore his right ACL in a loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas.

This morning, for the first time since suffering the injury and his subsequent surgery, Jones faced a defense other than the Giants. It wasn't a game, of course, but a spirited joint practice with the Detroit Lions at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. And Jones had to make quick decisions against an unfamiliar defense, which he hadn't done since lining up against the Raiders.

"I thought I did well," Jones said. "I thought I made good decisions, so I feel good. Certainly, there's things you look to improve and work on, but overall, I felt like seeing it and feeling in the game, making decisions, I thought it was a good job.

"These practices are a little bit more competitive, a little faster tempo, higher intensity. It was fun to be in this kind of situation and good to go out there."

The New York Giants hosted the Detroit Lions for joint practices ahead of Thursday's preseason opener.
