Overview
- Following Sunday’s 42-7 loss at Jacksonville, coach Shane Steichen said he would “evaluate everything, every position” and review personnel and coaching after a lopsided defeat.
- On Monday Steichen announced Jones will start Week 9, saying the veteran “gives us the best chance to win right now” while adding the team must provide more support for him.
- Daniel Jones was replaced late in that game by Anthony Richardson Sr., who played 13 fourth-quarter snaps and completed both pass attempts for eight yards after Jones threw two interceptions.
- Steichen blamed poor execution and coaching across all three phases, highlighted specific breakdowns such as pre-snap penalties and missed tackles, and praised several rookies who gained experience in the loss.
- The front office has been active near the trade deadline with at least one reported trade of Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson and other disputed reports, creating roster flux that could shape short- and long-term plans.
