Memo to the Giants quarterbacks: When Malik Nabers is open — that might be quite often — throw it to him.
Coach Brian Daboll kept almost all of his starters off the field for Thursday night’s preseason opening 14-3 victory over the Lions at MetLife Stadium but he decided to put Nabers out there, wanting to give the explosive rookie wide receiver a few snaps in a live game.
Daboll opted to keep Jones and his surgically-repaired right knee on the sideline and seeing Lock go down — operating behind the second-team offensive line — could make Daboll hesitant to start Jones in either of the two remaining preseason games. The Giants liked his size, his ability to move out of the pocket and his live arm but he was not signed to compete with Jones for the starting job. The starting offensive line had the night off, other than Aaron Stinnie, who is listed on the depth chart as the right guard — but could be supplanted by Greg Van Roten once he gets up to speed with the playbook.
