The New York Giants and Jets face off in a crucial matchup that could reveal which team is ready for an overdue turnaround. The two teams will share the practice field for two days, with their game on Saturday at MetLife Stadium being the ultimate test.
Here are five key matchups worth watching:
– WR Malik Nabers vs. CB Sauce Gardner: Can Nabers overcome his toe injury to take it to Gardner, the new highest-paid cornerback in NFL history?
– WR Garrett Wilson vs. CB Paulson Adebo: Their first face-off could determine if Adebo’s new contract and rapport with QB Justin Fields pay off.
– RT Armand Membou vs. LT Olu Fashanu: A battle of rookie top 10 picks and former Penn State teammates, as Carter faces his counterpart from the Bills’ preseason debut.
– QB Russell Wilson vs. LB Jamien Sherwood: The chess match begins as Wilson takes on Sherwood, who was signed to a $45 million contract extension.
– RBs Breece Hall/Braelon Allen vs. DTs: Can the Giants’ struggling rushing defense stop the Jets’ power running team and explosive backs?
