Giants End Preseason With Loss to Jets

The New York Giants concluded their 2024 preseason with a disappointing 1-2 record, highlighted by a 10-6 loss to the New York Jets. Coach Brian Daboll expressed respect for the effort of the players but acknowledged the team's depth concerns, especially after injuries to key offensive linemen. Standout performances came from defensive tackle Elijah Chatman and pass-rusher Benton Whitley, both of whom solidified their spots on the Week 1 roster. However, quarterback Drew Lock's injury and lackluster play raised doubts about the team's backup options. Critics have questioned Daboll's strategy of resting starters during joint practices, arguing it may not adequately prepare the team for the regular season. As the Giants prepare to finalize their 53-man roster, the focus remains on improving overall performance and addressing weaknesses before the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
