Giants Face Injury Concerns in Preseason Finale

The New York Giants faced a challenging final preseason game against the Jets, losing 10-6 and suffering multiple injuries to key players. Center John Michael Schmitz, returning from a shoulder injury, left the game early with an ankle injury after being rolled up on during the first offensive series. Tackle Evan Neal, also returning from ankle surgery, exited in the second quarter with an ankle issue, raising concerns about its severity. Defensive tackle Timmy Horne was carted off with an Achilles injury on the game's first play. Head coach Brian Daboll provided updates indicating that some injured players, including Jon Runyan and Drew Lock, would participate more in upcoming practices, but the overall injury situation is concerning as the team prepares for the regular season opener on September 8 against the Vikings. The Giants must finalize their 53-man roster by Tuesday, heightening the urgency of their injury assessments.
