Football is back and the fans are returning to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. The Giants and Jets will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET this Saturday night with the former serving as the home team.
After a 2020 campaign in which we didn’t witness any exhibition matchups due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this meeting will be either team’s first preseason game since 2019.
Of course, the preseason now carries a different format; to coincide with the new 17-game regular season, the preseason will now be three games instead of four.
Giants head coach Joe Judge already said quarterback Daniel Jones will not play and that the team will treat Saturday’s game as the traditional fourth preseason game (aka rookies and roster bubble guys will see reps).
