Daniel Jones inactive for Seahawks matchup

It’s officially official, but not all that astonishing.

This will be Jones’ third missed match of his job. The previous Duke Blue Satan sat out a pair of matchups during his 2019 rookie campaign due to a higher-ankle sprain, which cleared the way for Eli Manning to begin his final two game titles as an NFL quarterback.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter described Saturday night that veteran backup Colt McCoy was anticipated to notch the begin for Major Blue. McCoy accomplished six of 10 passes for 31 yards in reduction of Jones during past week’s win.
Giants’ QB Colt McCoy is anticipated to begin Sunday in opposition to the Seahawks in position of the injured Daniel Jones, for each resource. Jones even now is recovering from a hamstring harm, and the Giants also promoted observe-squad QB Clayton Thorson to the lively roster for Sunday’s match.

Luckily for us for the Giants, McCoy will be going up in opposition to a Seahawks secondary that is been putrid all 12 months prolonged. Seattle is past in the NFL with 328.8 passing yards allowed for each match — a horrendous mark. The moment McCoy gets accustomed to the situation (which might take some time given he hasn’t commenced a match considering that past 12 months), be expecting the Giants to unfold the field and take benefit of the beneath-ordinary defensive backfield.
But right up until then, New York will very likely rely on managing backs Wayne Gallman and Alfred Morris together with the strengthening offensive line to take the pressure off its backup-turned-starter.
