Giants’ Daniel Jones Struggles in Return, Tossed Two Picks Including a Pick-Six
Howlin' for More? Cowboys Draft Marshawn Kneeland, DeMarcus Lawrence 2.0?
Daniel Jones’ highly anticipated return to the gridiron after a devastating ACL tear took a rocky turn as the New York Giants quarterback endured a challenging outing against the Houston Texans. In his first preseason action since the injury, Jones found himself on the receiving end of a brutal pick-six and finished the game with two interceptions.
The Giants faithful were eager to see their signal-caller back in action, but the game quickly turned sour. Jones’ first interception was a particularly painful one, as he narrowly avoided a safety only to have the ball picked off and returned for a touchdown, leaving the Giants’ defense reeling.
While the turnovers undoubtedly cast a shadow over Jones’ performance, it’s important to remember that it was his first game back from a significant injury. The quarterback showed flashes of his ability, but the rust was evident. As the preseason progresses, Giants fans will be hoping to see their quarterback regain his confidence and find his rhythm.
The Giants will need to address the offensive line issues that contributed to some of the pressures Jones faced. Protecting their franchise quarterback is paramount, especially as he works his way back to full strength.
All eyes will be on Daniel Jones as the Giants continue their preseason campaign. With time and reps, there’s optimism that he can overcome this early setback and return to his pre-injury form.
