Here is everything you need to know about the preseason finale between the New York Giants and New England Patriots: STARTERS TO PLAY As planned, Joe Judge will treat the third preseason game as normal, which means starters will play extensively in the final tune-up before the regular season. Judge said quarterback Daniel Jones and the majority of the key contributors will play at least one half. NO SAQUON, NO GOLLADAY The Giants will play without at least two of their starters. Despite participating in his first full-team drills this week in New England, Barkley will not play as he continues to come back from last year’s knee injury. Judge also ruled out injured wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring). JOINT PRACTICES Judge had his team on the road for much of the past two weeks. The first stop was Cleveland, where the Giants held two joint practices with the Browns ahead of their second preseason game. They flew back Saturday night only to depart again on Tuesday – this time on a train bound for New England. There, in Judge’s old stomping grounds, the Giants held another two-day session with a new opponent. The traveling show will culminate in the preseason finale against the Patriots on Sunday night – home at MetLife Stadium.

NATIONAL RADIO Channel: SiriusXM NFLHISTORY WITH PATRIOTS Story lines are never lacking when the Giants and Patriots suit up against each other, especially in an anniversary year for either of their two Super Bowl meetings. Judge, however, added another chapter to their shared history when he was named the 19th head coach in Giants history on Jan. 8, 2020. Judge had spent the previous 11 seasons working under two of the most successful coaches in football history in Bill Belichick and Nick Saban, who stems from the former’s coaching tree. Judge was on the Patriots' staff when they won Super Bowls XLIX, LI, and LIII. New England reached the playoffs in every one of Judge's eight seasons, but Judge isn’t taking any trips down Memory Lane. “Obviously, there’s a great deal of football that I learned in New England, a great deal of success and memories that I’ve had, but to be honest with you, that’s things for later down the line to sit back and reflect on,” Judge said. “That’s not something right now that’s very important to me, and to be honest with you, we don’t have time to do that. For me, the history that’s important to me to know is the history of the New York Giants.” To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Super Bowl XLVI, the New York Giants recently launched the “ALL IN NYG” podcast - a limited-run series of the “Giants Huddle” podcast - presented by PNC Private Bank, the Official Wealth Management Partner of the New York Giants. The eight-episode special includes the legends from the 2011 championship team serving as both the hosts and guests.PLAYERS TO WATCH Daniel Jones, like many Giants starters, will make their 2021 preseason debuts against the Patriots after holding joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday in New England. Backup Mike Glennon started each of the first two games. What does Jones look to accomplish before he embarks on his third season? "Just to get out there, be comfortable, move the ball and score points," Jones said. "Like any game or practice, just execute football plays, move the ball down the field and score. So, be efficient and execute as an offense." For more players to watch, click here. ROSTER ROUNDUP On Thursday, the Giants traded kicker Ryan Santoso to the Carolina Panthers for a conditional 2022 seventh-round draft choice. Santoso, who can kick and punt, had an impressive training camp and was put on display in the second preseason game. “A large part of our focus for this game was to take a look at some of the guys, like Santoso with kicks," Judge said. "He has been tremendous for us, so we wanted to make sure we got him out there. Those guys did a tremendous job for us. We're happy to have Graham [Gano]. He is a phenomenal kicker. I know he is a quality guy and we wanted to make sure we got him some tape, to be honest with you. This guy deserves to be 1 or 2. He's got that kind of ability. We have all the faith in the world.” RUDOLPH RETURNS Veteran tight end Kyle Rudolph, who signed with the Giants as a free agent after a long run with the Vikings, passed his physical and returned to practice this week. Foot surgery forced him to spend the entire spring and first month of training camp rehabilitating. “This was the first football I've gotten to play since December,” Rudolph said. “I've still got a long way to go, a lot of work left ahead, but this is what I love to do. The last few months have been tough just watching each and every day, but I've got to give a ton of credit to our medical staff, our trainers, our doctors. Here I am back at practice, and it felt damn good.” FINAL ROSTER DECISION Santoso's departure left the Giants with 79 players (plus International roster exemption RB Sandro Platzgummer) entering their preseason finale. All NFL teams must reduce their rosters to the regular-season limit of 53 players by 4 p.m. Tuesday.
