The New York Giants have released their first depth chart ahead of Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets. As always, it is subject to change. It simply serves as a guide, more so for the media than the coaches.

Nevertheless, here are some notes on the first one:

*To no surprise, rookie Daniel Jones is listed as the No. 2 quarterback behind Eli Manning. The sixth overall draft choice has been working with the second team throughout training camp, followed by Alex Tanney and Kyle Lauletta. Coach Pat Shurmur was asked last week if the team will keep two or three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, which must be finalized by 4 p.m. on Aug. 31. "We're going to do what's best for the roster," Shurmur said. "We'll see how that goes."

Shurmur added: "I've been in places where there were two and a practice squad guy. I've been in places where we've had three and a practice squad guy. I've been in places where there have been a lot of different situations."

*Jon Halapio is in line to retain the starting center job that he had a year ago before suffering a season-ending leg injury in Week 2. Spencer Pulley, who eventually took over for him and helped to get the offense on track in the second half of the season, is listed behind Halapio. However, the team has reiterated its confidence in both of them.

"I think [Halapio has] done a good job to get maybe the first look," Shurmur said. "But I feel just as comfortable playing Spencer as I do Pio. I think they're two very good players. Spencer played at the end of the year and did a really nice job. I think in our scenario, we're fortunate that we have two guys that can snap the ball."
