The preseason finale is here

The New York Giants host the New York Jets in the final preseason game for both team on Saturday. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on WNBC-4 locally and NFL Network nationally. See full broadcast details below.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will play at least a bit for the Jets. That won’t matter to the Giants. Coach Brian Daboll flatly said “no” when asked this week if Rodgers’ plan to play would change anything for the Giants.

Following Saturday’s game, the Giants have until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday to cut their roster from 90 players to the league-mandated 53-man regular-season limit.

There are several position battles to watch at the bottom of the roster. Backup spots at running back, offensive line, wide receiver, cornerback, safety, and perhaps others are still to be decided.

Giants’ starters are unlikely to play much, it at all. The exception to that might be rookies like cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins III, and center John Michael Schmitz. Rookies like defensive tackle Jordon Riley and safety Gervarrius Owens, who are trying to solidify roster spots, should also see action.

Below, your viewing, listening, and betting information.
