New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is progressing in his rehab from a torn ACL in his right knee and expects to be cleared for training camp, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports. He even believes there is a realistic chance that he is able to do some drills with his teammates later this spring.

It's all possible because, so far, the rehab has gone relatively smoothly.

"I haven't had any setbacks, fortunately, to this point," Jones said from the team facility Monday during the first day of the Giants' offseason workout program. "It's a process, and there have certainly been better days and then days where you don't make as much progress, but overall it has been a good process with these guys. Lucky to have this training staff that we have here with the Giants and the strength staff and feel lucky to be working with them.

"It has been a good process. I've come along well, and luckily, no setbacks."

Jones tore the ACL in a Week 9 loss to Las Vegas when he went to drop back for a pass. It ended a nightmare season that also included a neck injury that cost him three games. He appeared in a total of six games last season. Jones, 26, underwent surgery in late November. His recovery was expected to take at least eight months. That takes him until the end of July, which coincides with the start of training camp.

It's a good sign that Jones has his eyes on getting involved in some drills this spring.

"Yeah, I want to do as much as they'll let me do," he said. "That is the goal, and you obviously want to be smart and not do anything you can't do, but that is my goal -- to be involved and participate in some of those drills in the spring. Obviously it will correlate with my rehab and the progress I'm making as the trainers and strength staff sees it. But that is the goal."
