Daniel Jones couldn’t hide the disappointment. Even though the Giants’ medical staff is advising extreme caution in dealing with a sprained ankle, the rookie quarterback desperately wants to keep playing.
“You want to play, everyone wants to play,” Jones said Wednesday. “I certainly won’t play, but I do understand it and it’s my job to get healthy as quick as I can.”
Difficult as it might be not to play, though, there may be some benefit to Jones taking a seat on the bench for at least a game — if not longer.
