The 2024 NFL season is about to commence, as the New York Giants are set to host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. Plenty of aspects on both sidelines are different from the previous season. Saquon Barkley crossed the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, and Daniel Jones is ready for live-action after he tore his ACL last November.
The Vikings lost quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Falcons. First-round pick J.J. McCarthy tore his right meniscus and will miss the rest of his rookie season. Sam Darnold — whom the Vikings gave a one-year, $10-million contract to in free agency — will return to MetLife Stadium to face the Giants.
