The Giants are reportedly planning to start back up quarterback and former Cleveland Browns starter Colt McCoy Sunday night.
ESPN was first to report the decision, which had been trending in that direction all week, given Jones s limited status in practice combined with the Giants having to cancel practice Thursday out of an abundance of caution following offensive coordinator Jason Garrett s testing positive for COVID-19.
McCoy was Cleveland s third-round pick (No. 85 overall) in the 2010 draft out of Texas. He appeared in 24 games with 21 starts for the Browns between 2010-12.
This season, McCoy, 8-21 as a starting NFL quarterback, has appeared in three games for the Giants with one start, that being a winning effort against Seattle two weeks ago.
