Giants’ Daniel Jones confident he will start Week 1 vs. Vikings: ‘I don’t have any doubt about it right now’

USATSI

Daniel Jones fully plans to be the Giants’ starting quarterback when New York faces the Vikings in Week 1. Jones said as much Thursday. Jones has been making positive strides as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 of last season.

“No, I don’t have any doubt about it right now,” Jones said of his Week 1 availability, via ESPN. 

As New York ushers in this year’s round of organized team activities, the veteran quarterback has participated in 7-on-7 drills. On Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll noted that he’s been encouraged by Jones’ progress, but did note that the team will be taking it slow with their starting signal-caller. 

“He looks good,” said Daboll, via Fox Sports. “I mean, we’re not putting him in some team stuff, but he’s making progress. That’s why we’ve got him in 7-on-7.” 

When asked specifically if he believes that Jones will be ready for the start of training camp, Daboll added, “Yeah, we’ll take it day by day. If he can do more, we’ll put him in more.”
