EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants’ offseason will conclude Thursday with the final day of their minicamp, but Daniel Jones will not separate from his work in the six weeks before training camp begins.

The team’s quarterback wants to improve his knowledge of Brian Daboll’s offense and will keep studying during what is traditionally idle time in the NFL.
