NEW York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is closing in on a return to the field following his season-ending ACL injury last year.
Jones participated in the Giants’ first OTA practice of the spring on Monday, according to the team’s official website.

Jones participated in 7-on-7 drills, completing passes to receivers Wan’Dale Robinson and Malik Nabers, according to Dan Salomone of the Giants’ website.
The 26-year-old is still on track to be fully cleared by the start of training camp at the end of July.
Soon after that, the Giants will play their preseason games ahead of the 2024 season.
The opening game of the new season will be against the Minnesota Vikings on September 9th.
Jones suffered an ACL injury in Week 9 of last season.
He was injured during a November loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Jones told reporters last month that he was “making good progress” in his race to be ready for the new season.
“The plan is to be ready to go to training camp,” he said.

“That’s when I’m aiming and I feel good about being ready.”
Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Giants last year.
And even though Jones hasn’t reached the levels the Giants really need, it looks like he’ll be the starting quarterback again in November.
Speaking after last month’s NFL Draft, general manager Joe Schoen suggested that was still the vessel.
“Yeah, for me, I said that in January after the season,” Schoen said.
“The expectation was that Daniel would be our starter and we brought in Drew Lock to be his backup and Tommy [DeVito] has been the backup.
