New York Giants (1-1) at New York Jets (1-1) — Game Preview
The New York Giants (1-1) wrap up Week 3 of the preseason against the New York Jets (1-1) at MetLife Stadium in a game with no bearing on any standings but plenty riding on the 53-man roster.
Both teams are treating this finale as a final evaluation window before rosters must be trimmed to the regular-season limit, with backups and roster-bubble players expected to see the bulk of the snaps. Jameis Winston has completed 15 of his 21 attempts for 150 yards in his most recent preseason look and gets one more chance to make his case in the Giants quarterback room, while across the field Cade Klubnik has gone 10 of 14 for 75 yards as he continues auditioning for a role in the Jets passing game. Devin Singletary has turned 8 carries into 40 yards and a touchdown in his latest outing, giving New York a steady veteran presence in a backfield built mostly around evaluation this time of year. The Jets counter on the edge with Nate Lynn, whose 2 sacks make him one of the more disruptive pass rushers still competing for a spot up front.
With a long list of Giants players carrying a questionable tag into the finale, expect an even heavier workload for the reserves trying to make a lasting impression before cuts.

Players to Watch: New York Giants vs. New York Jets
New York Giants
Jameis Winston — QB. Winston has been sharp in his latest preseason action, completing 15 of his 21 attempts for 150 yards. He gets one more look under center to make his case as the Giants finalize their quarterback room ahead of final cuts. A clean outing in the preseason finale is exactly the kind of note teams like to end camp on.
Devin Singletary — RB. Devin Singletary turned 8 carries into 40 yards and a touchdown in his last preseason outing for the Giants. That kind of workhorse output positions him as a steady presence in the backfield as roster decisions get finalized. He remains one of the more experienced backs New York has to lean on heading into the regular season.
Darius Slayton — WR. Darius Slayton hauled in 4 catches for 58 yards in his latest preseason appearance, the kind of downfield production that has kept him on Giants rosters for years. With a crowded receiver room fighting for a handful of open spots, that kind of steady output is exactly what coaches want to see from a veteran this late in the summer.
Zacch Pickens — DE. Zacch Pickens got to the quarterback once in his most recent preseason showing, adding to the pressure the Giants have generated up front. Interior disruption like that matters for a defensive line trying to make its final impression before cuts. He’s part of a rotation the Giants will lean on up front once the games start counting.
New York Jets
Cade Klubnik — QB. Cade Klubnik went 10 of 14 for 75 yards in his latest preseason action, continuing to build his case for a role in the Jets quarterback room. Efficient outings like that matter most in a preseason finale where every throw gets graded against a looming roster deadline. He’ll get one more chance to make an impression before New York finalizes its roster.
Chip Trayanum — RB. Chip Trayanum carried the ball 6 times for 20 yards in his most recent preseason look, giving the Jets a physical option out of the backfield. Snaps like these are exactly what depth-chart hopefuls need in the final week of August. His performance down the stretch could decide whether he sticks on New York’s initial roster.
Quincy Skinner Jr. — WR. Quincy Skinner Jr. turned 4 receptions into 47 yards and a touchdown in his last preseason outing, the kind of splash play that gets remembered when final cuts come around. Receiver competition is steep across the league in the preseason finale, and a touchdown catch is the type of moment that can separate a roster longshot from the rest of the pack. He’ll look to build on it in the Jets’ last tune-up before the regular season.
Nate Lynn — DE. Nate Lynn has racked up 2 sacks in his recent preseason work, making him one of the more disruptive pass rushers still competing for a spot on New York’s defensive line. Production like that off the edge is difficult to ignore this late in the summer. A strong final outing would go a long way toward cementing his spot on the roster.
