Q. So when you hear that they're doing all 11 on 11 today, no 7-on-7, you weren't pumped up, were you?
DANIEL JONES: No, I wasn't pumped up. I'm not a coach. I don't make those calls. I understand. Dabs wants to get a lot of the teamwork and that's what they did.
Yeah, wasn't my favorite thing, but that's not my job.
Q. Usually is your favorite thing, right, when your participating?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think all the reps are valuable, for sure. So yeah, looked like they got some good work in today. Take a look at the film and see what we're at.
Q. How do you feel? How does your knee feel on a day-to-day basis?
DANIEL JONES: Knee feels good. Really good. I think every week I've continued to feel better and better and taking steps. Doing a lot of the same things I've been doing, but doing them better and feeling sharper, cleaner with a lot of my cuts.
Kind of working on getting that explosiveness back and then taking steps in improving my change of direction and cutting from even where it was before the injury.
Q. Is this a win for you, almost like a milestone you were hoping to get to mini camp and be here and be healthy, now you are?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think, yeah, I've kind of hit every mark I've set to hit and the trainers and doctors set for me to this point. I'll continue to try to do that. I'm going to continue to push to do as much as they'll let me do.
I feel good about where I am and the process we've followed and how we've gone about it. We'll continue to work through this week obviously and then through the summer leading up to training camp.
Q. What are your expectations for training camp?
DANIEL JONES: I expect to be ready to go first day of training camp.
Q. Where is the beard?
DANIEL JONES: Had to clean it up a little bit. Had to clean it up. We'll see. We had picture day yesterday and was just time to clean it up.
Q. Did you lose some weight?
DANIEL JONES: I didn't lose any weight, no. About the same.
Q. Can you still develop rapport with the wide receivers with some of the work you are doing even though you're not participating in 11 on 11, especially with a guy like Malik who's a rookie?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, the reps we get and routes on air are valuable. You know, the time we spend in the meeting room talking about things, talking about how we see certain routes, how we see things playing out against certain looks.
All that stuff kind of helps build that chemistry and rapport, and you got to take advantage of all the time you get. Yeah, I feel like we'll be good to go.
Q. How much of a weapon can Malik Nabers be?
DANIEL JONES: I think he can be a tremendous weapon for us. Yeah, he's had a good spring. Looked good and made a lot of plays. You know, take time and work and we'll put that in.
Q. What excites you about his physical ability?
DANIEL JONES: I mean, he can do everything. You know, there is not much that he can't do really from a route running standpoint. He is dynamic with the ball in his hands and strong, fast, explosive, catches the ball well.
Yeah, does a lot well.
Q. Jalin said he spent a lot of time with you this off-season. What have you seen from him?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think he's made a ton of improvement this off-season, and was really dialed in on some of the smaller details of route running, understanding how defenders are trying to play him and how to gain leverage and separation.
He's worked tremendously hard this off-season, and I think it's shown up on the field this spring. Yeah, it's been really fun working with him. Extremely talented guy obviously, and he's only getting better.
Q. (Plane interference.) Do you guys have enough in the tight end room? A guy like Daniel Bellinger, can he be a weapon in the pass game you think?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think we got a lot of great players in that room, and Darren obviously was a great player and wish him the best in his retirement.
But, yeah Bellinger has looked good, and then Theo, Cager, you know, Chris, all those guys in that room have played well.
Q. You expect to be here for the first day of training camp. What is your outlook for the team for the year in your mind, overall outlook?
DANIEL JONES: I mean, we have high expectations. We always do. You know, we're going to get there by putting the work in every day and making are we're ready to go for the first day of training camp, and when we get into training camp, getting everything out of each practice and improving and growing together.
So we've got high expectations of what we can be as a team and what we can be as an offense.
Q. Is this sleeve going to be part of the uniform for the foreseeable future?
DANIEL JONES: It's just something to keep it warm and something the trainers had me wear them. There is no support element to it. Just to keep it warm and loose.
Q. Did why no brace?
DANIEL JONES: I mean, that was a doctors' and trainers' decision. I think it feels good. Feels strong. Feels stable.
Just not really necessary.
Q. Do you have any doubt that when you are cleared and you go from training camp that you will be the same dynamic athlete that you've been putting your foot in the ground with no hesitation and physical limitations?
DANIEL JONES: No, I don't have any doubt about it. I think I can do all that stuff now and I'll be even better in a month.
Q. You can do it now?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah.
Q. Your metrics are all...
DANIEL JONES: Yeah.
Q. What's your perception of the couple guys they brought in to start along the offensive line and the new coach for that unit? How optimistic can be you now about improvements?
DANIEL JONES: I think those guys have played really well throughout this spring and I've enjoyed working with Carm and all those guys together.
I think they've had a good spring kind of gelling together, working things out, and, yeah, so I think those guys have fit in really well.
Q. You plan on sticking around here four the six weeks off?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, be here mostly. Got a couple trips but I'll be here mostly.
Q. You going to bring the guys together?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, going to get together like we always do and work out for a few days.
