Either way.

If Daniel Jones plays in a preseason game, there is a risk he gets hurt because there is a risk any time any player steps onto the field to play in a game.

If Daniel Jones does not play in any of the three Giants preseason games, there is a risk he does not properly shake off the rust and is not fully prepared for the regular season opener Sept. 8. He is coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL and will have not played in a real game in nearly 11 months.
