The 2026 season kicks off tonight between the Seahawks and Patriots.

It is the first of four primetime games on the NFL's Week 1 slate. The Giants and Cowboys are the third group up on Sunday Night Football. It will be the ninth Week 1 meeting between the NFC East foes in primetime, the most by any two franchises.

John Harbaugh met with the media following Wednesday's practice to preview what will be his first game as head coach of the Giants.

Here's what you need to know:

📰 Wide receiver Malik Nabers practiced fully on Wednesday and took contact with pads, but "we'll find out" if he is good to go for Sunday night.

"I think he's ready to go," Harbaugh said. "We'll see, though. It's still four days until we play. So, if he's ready to go and he feels like he's ready to go, then he'll play. If he's not … then he won't play."

📰 Harbaugh won't get into who is playing or not publicly because "what you know, the Cowboys know or every other team probably knows. And that's not in the competitive interest of our football team."

📰 In their team meeting today, Harbaugh talked about looking back and how the journey so far feels "like it's taken forever to get here and it feels like it happened just like that at the same time."

He added, "There's been a lot of water that's gone under the bridge to get us to this point, and now we get an opportunity to see how far it's taken us. And then we'll go from there again."

📰 On releasing veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton: "We always make all of our personnel decisions about what's best for the team immediately and in the long-term future, what gives us the best chance to be the best team we can be."

A lot of factors went into the timing. "Maybe you get a trade. Maybe you try to wait as long as you can to see if you can work out a contract change. There's a lot of reasons to it."

📰 Harbaugh is "fired up" to be part of the Giants-Cowboys rivalry personally for the first time. "It feels like a big game," he said.

📰 Every player the Giants put on the field on Sunday, including rookies, the staff is "confident they're ready to play winning football or they wouldn't be out there."

📰 Harbaugh has "tons of respect" for Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer and the organization. "The Cowboys are the Cowboys. They're talented. They're tough."

📰 Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker is a "sharp, up-and-coming guy" who comes from a great system.

📰 Dallas is a "formidable opponent" but you don't really know who anyone is yet in Week 1.
