New York Giants LB Chad Jones (leg) is doing cutting and agility drills, running uphill and participating in 100-yard sprints as part of his rehab. He has also been running 10 100-yard dashes with resistance in cleats. 'Now that he can do these activities without pain and swelling, his endurance is gradually getting better,' physical therapist John Moran continued. 'He no longer has a big inflammatory response to his training. He can run and do cutting drills at lunch and come in that night and squat 300-plus pounds. Come back the next day and do it all over again, without soreness and pain.' He plans to take part in full-contact training at some point in February.
