Giants To Start Jones At QB Vs. Pats In Preseason Finale

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — While Daniel Jones seemingly is the future of the New York Giants at quarterback, the sixth pick overall in the draft has a lot to learn before taking over from Eli Manning.

A perfect example came at practice Monday.

Jones was intercepted on a 10-to-15 yard pass toward the left sideline by Ronald Zamort. The second-year cornerback started to return the ball upfield and Jones, wearing a red no-contact vest took the right angle and ran him down.

Instead of being satisfied, Jones lunged at Zamort with his hand and appeared to knock the ball out of his hand while sliding to the ground.
