Daniel Jones isn’t thinking about what may be a precarious future with the Giants.
His entire focus is on getting his torn right ACL repaired, attacking rehabilitation like he would an opposing defense and doing everything possible to help his team in the meantime.
“The goal is to be ready and fully healthy as soon as possible,” he said on Wednesday, in his first public comments since suffering the season-ending injury.
Jones chose not to address his future.
Asked about the possibility that the Giants could opt to take a quarterback in the upcoming draft, he talked about focusing on the present.
“It’s tough for sure. You put a lot into preparing to play,” he said. “And to get it taken from you through an injury is definitely tough. That’s real, and that’s something that you deal with as a player. But I can’t afford to feel sorry for myself or sulk. And I’ll be fine. I’ll bounce back, attack the rehab process like I have anything else, and come back stronger.”
One consolation is that Jones didn’t suffer any additional damage to his right knee. It’s just the ACL.
He also doesn’t need to get neck surgery.
He missed three games with an injury to his neck.
Jones hasn’t decided when he will get the operation or with which doctor. He is waiting for the swelling to go down.
Jones estimated it would happen in the next few weeks.
