Detroit Lions-New York Giants joint practices: 5 matchups to watch before preseason game

The Detroit Lions host the New York Giants for joint practices Tuesday and Wednesday and their preseason opener Friday, and Lions coach Dan Campbell said facing a new opponent two weeks into training camp will be good for his squad.

“It’s a fresh look at somebody else and I love that cause camp, you got to be careful,” Campbell said. “You get into the same routine, the rut, the mundane and you don’t really ever go, you’re just spinning your wheels so this will be good for us.”

The Giants went 9-7-1 last season and beat the Minnesota Vikings in a wild card game.
