NEW YORK — Giants head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged Tuesday that backup QB Tyrod Taylor could get some snaps with the first-team offense in the preseason.
Daboll was asked if he had any desire or curiosity to see what Taylor could do with the first-teamers this preseason.
“Yeah, he’ll get — as we get going here in terms of the preseason games, we’ll talk about whatever we think is best,” Daboll said. “I have full confidence in Daniel [Jones] and full confidence in Tyrod with what his role is. Each day we evaluate the guys. But will he get a few reps here or there? He might.”
Daboll said it would “absolutely not” be a reflection on Jones if Taylor works with the starters. The Giants intend to enter the regular season with Jones as their starter.
He has taken all but one first-team rep in camp. Last week, Daboll put Taylor in for one play because he wanted to discuss a read with Jones after four unsuccessful 11-on-11 snaps. Jones went right back in and started the preseason opener at New England.
The Giants host the Cincinnati Bengals in their second preseason game Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Daboll said Monday that he will play his starters some for a second straight game. The Bengals are sitting their top guys.
