Jones acquired medical clearance to apply absolutely earlier than final Sunday’s loss to the Jets. Wednesday was Jones’ first likelihood to have contact in a exercise.
Since he was carrying a protecting purple shirt, nobody was supposed to the touch him throughout the apply on the Giants’ indoor facility.
Jones missed video games towards Buffalo, Washington and the Jets and backup Tyrod Taylor began all three. Taylor didn’t end Sunday’s 13-10 additional time loss to the Jets after sustaining a rib cage damage within the second quarter. Practice squad quarterback Tommy DeVito performed the final 2 1/2 quarters and ran for a landing, the one one of many recreation for the Giants.
“I’m excited,” Jones stated after apply. “Excited to be back in the swing of things and going through the week preparing to play. So yeah, I’m excited to be back.”
Jones stated he felt good on the sector and he had no intention of dialing again the way in which he performs. Over the previous two years, he has been the group’s second-greatest rusher behind Saquon Barkley.
“I’m going to continue to be aggressive and look for opportunities to run when they’re there, and then be smart, get down and protect myself also,” he stated. “That’s something I’ve always tried to do and try to continue to improve at so, yeah, that won’t change.”

“I’m confident in our group,” Jones stated. “I’m confident in what we’re doing, and we’ve just got to put it together, and we’ve got the guys to do it. I’m confident. I think we all are. We’ve got to go out there and show it on Sunday.”
Coach Brian Daboll was glad simply to have his No. 1 quarterback again, and there was an opportunity the No. 6 general choose within the 2019 draft wouldn’t be the one starter returning this week.
“It’s just good to have another player out there with DJ, I know he’s excited,” Daboll stated. “He’s played with Saquon for a bit so it’s just good to have him back and we’ll see where these other guys are at the end of the week.”
Daboll stated injured offensive tackles Andrew Thomas (hamstring) and Evan Neal (ankle) have an opportunity to return this week, too. Thomas has not performed because the season opener and Neal has missed the previous two video games. They had been restricted at apply Wednesday.
Tight finish Darren Waller, who left Sunday’s recreation with a proper hamstring damage within the second quarter, didn’t apply Wednesday.
