New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will undergo ACL surgery on Wednesday in New York, presumably at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
The 26-year-old gave the update Tuesday during an appearance on Up & Adams with Kay Adams.
“Been rehabbing and getting ready for surgery. Doing surgery up here tomorrow,” Jones said. “It’s the best time for it. Got a lot of football to watch while I am laid up.”
Jones, who suffered the torn ACL in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders, said the expected recovery timetable is eight to 10 months.
“It’s about eight- to nine- to 10-month recovery period,” he said. “We’ll attack that, approach that and work on that day-by-day. Try to get back as fast as I can.”
The surgery will come 17 days after the injury, which is more than the 10 days it took Joe Burrow to undergo his ACL/MCL surgery in 2020 and fewer than the 22 days it took Kyler Murray to undergo the a similar procedure last year.
If the operation goes off without a hitch, Jones could return as early as July or as late as September. That could put him in line to start Week 1 next season.
Jones signed a four-year, $160 million deal this past offseason but was limited this year, dealing first with a neck injury before the knee injury.
