Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that Daniel Jones will indeed get the start when the New York Giants take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16.
#Giants QB Daniel Jones, dealing with hamstring and ankle injuries, is starting tomorrow, per me and @TomPelissero. It was headed that way all week, so no surprise. But it’s Jones vs the #Ravens.

Jones was initially injured back in Week 12, suffering a hamstring injury against the Cincinnati Bengals. He missed the following game against the Seattle Seahawks but returned in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. Jones was clearly still limited that game and suffered an ankle injury to his other leg and failed to finish the game.
The question now is that while Jones is healthy enough to take the field, just how healthy is he?
The Giants once again face an uphill fight against a Ravens team which has played well in previous weeks. Baltimore seems to be getting over their COVID-19 outbreak, with Lamar Jackson playing at his MVP caliber level, while the Ravens’ defense is one of the more disruptive units in the NFL.
