almost everyone else, I hate this decision. It could easily become Jason Sehorn Part II, especially given our propensity for injuries. The only way this makes sense is if Jackson has been told to fair catch everything.
How many returners get hurt? Some of you are so scared from Sehorn that most don't see what happens around the league.
James got a concussion last week! On a team where there is a huge lack of quality depth, putting your #1 CB out there is foolhardy!
Didn t Deion Sanders return kicks?
Was Deion on a roster where many of the backups were street FAs? Look, I hope I'm wrong & Jackson goes the distance with one. My problem is the depth on this roster is tissue paper thin,so avoiding any problem makes sense. I just would like to know why they never brought ANYONE in to try out as a PR?
if Adoree gets hurt and season tanks - better draft pick and not as much pushback if they want to dump Jones for a draft pick QB
if it works and he delivers some big returns while staying healthy - win more games and make the playoffs, get more goodwill from management/fans/media that they know what they are doing when moves are made this offseason

He was Deion Sanders, I don’t care who his backups were!
Giants are 6-2. They need a win today. You play your best guys, You don’t make decisions based on someone might get hurt, you make decisions on what gives you the best chance to win.
Totally disagree with comments like, “ fair catch” every ball. Play to win, that s what it s about. He could get hurt at anytime playing corner. If he gets hurt it s part of the game, unfortunate but true.
Jabrill Peppers suffered two season-ending injuries
Broken bone in his back on a kickoff return Week 11, 2019 at Chicago.
Then torn ACL Week 7, 2021 on punt return that ended his NYG career.
Both times when he was a defensive starter.
You don't have to go back 25 years to Sehorn.
Kick returns are not the same as punt returns. Over the past 25 years kick returns have become safer due to the rule changes.
Before you bring up one example of Peppers getting hurt as a punt returner, you should look at the league wide stats of number of punts and number of injuries to punt returners.
And if you do want to bring up Peppers and Sehorn as the only two data points, that's an injury rate of once every 20 years.
Everybody needs get over the Sehorn crap. There are position categories with high injury rates like RB and CB and no one says don't play Saquon at RB because he might get injured.
