The preseason will be the first chance for the New York Giants to evaluate new rookies and free agency additions in an actual game situation, as well as a chance to evaluate how returning players have improved or regressed, and we now know which opponents they’ll face and when. Of course, two of those opponents were already a given, as the Giants playing the Jets and the Patriots in the preseason is something of a tradition.
However, the new information is the dates and the order that the games will be played in. The Jets are the first opponent and the Giants will open the preseason with a two game home stand starting with that matchup.
