THE DROP-BACK: OCTOBER 15 - Daniel jones has limited practice thursday

giants

After being knocked out (literally) of the game last weekend, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones returned to practice on Thursday on a limited basis. Jones' status is still up in the air, as he is currently progressing through concussion protocol and has to be cleared in order to play this week.

Giants HC Joe Judge is on a call with LA media this morning (“LMK what you guys need to get the job done”).

On QB Daniel Jones: Progressing thru concussion protocol and will participate in non-contact practice today.

On QB Stafford: “There’s really not a throw he can’t make.”

STEELERS

Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers are struggling this season, but they finally snapped their losing streak last week. Could this be the spark they need to keep things going? Roethlisberger says they still have a lot of work to do. "We're not by any means going to sit here and say we're fixed; we're this great offense. We're not there yet. We still have a long way to go." Well, at least he's aware.

In probably one of the best quotes I've heard this entire season, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said of Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert​... well, I'll just leave it here.
