Daniel Jones was beaten and crushed.
After picking up eight sacks on Sunday while playing with a hamstring injury, the Giants quarterback came out of his weekly checkup with team doctors and treatment with “bumps and bruises” and “wear and tear” from wins in the pocket.
“We did nothing to aggravate the injury to that leg,” the judge said Monday afternoon. “I can tell you there are no broken bones or anything of that nature.”
Jones was 11-for-21 at 127 yards, but the run-pass-option plays weren’t in the playbook making him a better quarterback. Despite McCoy’s victory over the Seahawks a week earlier, the judge said he had “no regrets, no second guess” at the decision to play Jones limited to Gold McCoy at the expense of the Cardinals.
So, the initial reading – from Wednesday to Friday before looking at Jones in training – will begin on Sunday against Jones Browns.
“If Daniel is healthy enough to play, I have no hesitation in playing Daniel if he looks the way he saw in practice last week,” the judge said. “We have a lot of confidence in Gold. But there is also a commitment we made to Daniel for our quarterback, and how we handle this crime. If he is healthy enough to go there and defend himself, we don’t feel like he’s going to get badly injured, and he’s going to give the team a competitive advantage, and we’re going to play him. ”
The judge did not rule out the use of mecca in certain circumstances.
