The Presenting Sponsor for today's episode of the Athletic Football Show is Visa, a network working for everyone. Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. Today is Thursday, September 30th. I'm Robert Mays. Fun show for you guys today. Our Giants writer, Dan Duggan, is going to be joining us a little bit later, chat about, I don't know, pretty depressing. I'm a three star for the Giants. Not a lot of stuff going well. We got into all of that great discussion with Dan. Before we do that, though, I am thrilled to welcome my good friend, Lindsay Jones. Lindsay, how are you doing? I am great, Robert. I'm excited to get into all of this. And we'll try to keep it happy because the last 30 minutes, it's going to be a little rough for Giants fans.

And he was on the

practice field wearing number five, which will look very weird.

It's funny because he wore nine at Stanford.

So I've seen him in a single-digit number before.

I knew I wasn't losing it.

I knew that I had seen that in the past.

He talked to and he talked to reporters, you know, a little bit like caging whether or not he'll actually be in the lineup on Sunday when they go to Foxborough to play the Patriots. He kind of said he'd like to have a full week of practice. But, you know, he did. He was on the field on Wednesday. So he absolutely could practice. He's not on a commissioner's exemptalist.
