#Giants QB Daniel Jones underwent tests on his hamstring today and sources say he did avoid major injury. He has an outside chance at playing Sunday, though they’ll know more if he’s able to get on the field and test it in a few days. NYG will have plans with Jones & without him. |
@JordanRaanan
The MRI on Daniel Jones showed a hamstring strain that is likely to force him to miss some time, per source. The Giants should be able to know more later in the week when they get him moving around.

Raanan has quickly become my least favorite reporter covering the team.
robbieB is just killing it today.
I think the thing that I am focused on was the wording of "He has an outside chance at playing Sunday"
Most of assumed that this may not be a surgery issue, but there were many reports that this could be severe enough to knock him out for the rest of the season..

How much Raanan and Rappaport are quoting the same source
But a strain hamstring can last the remaining of the season
I swear, some of you are only capable of being miserable.

If it is a mild injury, they will give him treatment all week and wrap it tightly for the game. How likely he is to play will come down to if Judge and the staff are confident he can make the throws needed with the injury. If he can't drive on the ball, he won't play.
And if he plays, they will not design runs, so it will pare down the RPO part of the playbook.
But that still likely gives us a better chance of winning than putting McCoy in.

One guy says outside chance of playing next week, one guy says likely to lose time. If this is not the example of glass half full vs. empty. I don't know Jordan is just a negative person or that's his schtick.
Arizona and Cleveland very beatable in my opinion, especially at home. Kyler shut down by Bill B yesterday, I'm sure Graham can scheme up a good defense vs. them. Really all you have to do is limit Kyler's legs, and he may be dealing with a shoulder injury that is not allowing him to run freely.
If DJ can rest up and then play next week vs. Arizona, I'll take that right now.
Interesting...let's say Philly wins tonight. Would that make the next game a must-win game for the Giants?
He's taking the Giants to task for risking further injury while also singing Eli's virtues for never getting hurt.
Journalism nowadays...
Ranaan might actually have a source feeding him something. Dont bet on DJ playing this coming Sunday, even if he is tougher than nails.
Which history alone suggests, sans any insider info.
If he does the following, then he can play:
1. move within the pocket
2. No RPOs
3. When pressured, throw the ball away or just take a sack
Although not optimal, this would yield better results than playing McCoy.

Brilliant take.
Thanks Pete.
I have no inside info but I want them to rest him and make sure he gets past this at least 1 week.
What does a pandemic have to do with it?
If anything, you'd rather play @ Seattle in a year without fans.

sit him this week. Despite what others have said, I don't see us flying all the way across the country and beating Seattle in the middle of a pandemic, even if Jones was healthy.

If anything, it makes it more of a possibility of winning without the fans there.

It is not just about movement. If he can't push off of his right leg you can't throw downfield. Even under 10 yards he was getting no velocity when he tried to gut it out yesterday.

thanks Captain Obvious.. I think we all understand that his ability to throw the ball normally would be a prerequisite to starting the game.
