Is Daniel Jones playing today? Latest on Giants' QB for Week 2 NFL preseason vs Texans

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones played just six games before suffering a season-ending ACL injury in 2023. He was the latest in a series of offensive Giants starters to suffer significant injuries. Jones has since recovered and has begun training with the first team ahead of a return to action.

Jones will play against the Houston Texans in the team's second preseason game this year, according to the Giants' coach, Brian Daboll. The game will be his first since suffering a season-ending ACL injury last November.

Daniel Jones will likely take some offensive snaps in the upcoming matchup. Backup quarterbacks Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock could get a decent amount of game time against the Texans. Jones is the established starter, but there's room for competition for the QB2 and QB3 spots.
