The Giants will take the field in front of their home crowd at MetLife Stadium for the first time on Saturday as they face off against the Jets.
In last week's preseason opener, the Giants traveled to Orchard Park, where they defeated the Buffalo Bills, 34-25. Meanwhile, the Jets got their preseason started with a 30-10 road victory over the Green Bay Packers.
The two teams met for back-to-back joint practices earlier this week, with Tuesday's session taking place in Florham Park and Wednesday's in East Rutherford.
Coach Brian Daboll did not indicate how long the starters would play, if at all, in the second preseason game following two days of joint practices.
Nonetheless, here are five players to watch this Saturday.
QB Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson didn't play much in the preseason opener. The veteran quarterback took the field for the team's first drive and led the offense into field goal range, setting up Graham Gano's 53-yard kick to get the Giants on the board. Wilson completed six of seven passes for 28 yards on the drive as he continued to show the accuracy we've seen all summer from the 36-year-old.
"I thought we did a good job," Wilson said after the game. "I thought our consistency throughout the whole game made some plays. I thought it was good to be out there, just be with the fellas and obviously to be a New York Giant, what a blessing it is to lead these guys and be a part of that. I think that every week we just want to keep getting better. It's so funny because I think these preseason games mean so much, just being able to get out there and the culture in the locker room to pregame warmups, to the whole rhythm of how we do that and how we do that really well. And I thought we did a great job of that, even on the sideline, game on the line, just everybody was in tune."
It remains to be seen how much Wilson and the rest of the starters will play in Saturday's game against the Jets, especially after two days of joint practices. Whether he's out there for one series, one quarter or more, look for Wilson to continue to develop chemistry with his pass-catchers and offensive line as we inch closer to the start of the season.
QB Jaxson Dart
While Wilson made his Giants debut in last week's win over the Bills, Jaxson Dart made his NFL debut in Buffalo. The rookie made a strong first impression as he completed 12 of 19 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown, which earned him a passer rating of 106.0. He also led the team with 24 rush yards on three attempts (8.0 avg.). The touchdown pass came on a beautiful throw where he placed the ball perfectly in front of wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey, hitting the veteran in stride as he crossed the goal line. While Dart's numbers were impressive, the way he operated the offense and played with confidence left everyone feeling encouraged about the rookie quarterback's first game.
"Just about what I thought he would do," Daboll said about Dart's performance after the game. "Efficient, effective, aggressive, confident in the pocket. Some stuff we can work on, but he's doing good.
"Look, there's things he can be better at, but we missed some opportunities on third down, some drops that would have even been better for him and for us. But he's a confident young player. He's improved since he's been here. Still have a long way to go, but I enjoy working with him. I like his demeanor on the sideline. He sees the game well."
With only two games remaining until the start of the regular season, Dart will likely get another extended look this weekend. Look for the rookie quarterback to soak up as many game reps as he can this weekend as he continues his development.
"I'm just trying to take advantage of the opportunities that I get, trying to watch the film as much as I can to go into depth and just keep learning," Dart told the media Wednesday.

TE Theo Johnson
Similar to Wilson, Theo Johnson was only on the field for the Giants' opening drive in the preseason opener. But if that one drive is any indication of how the offense might look come the regular season, then Johnson could be in for a big role in the passing game. The second-year tight end was targeted on two of Wilson's eight pass attempts and caught both for 10 yards. Johnson also had a third catch that was negated due to a Buffalo penalty.
Last weekend's game was just the latest example of the chemistry developing between the veteran quarterback and young tight end. The two have been connecting at practice on a consistent basis dating back to the spring, and it's clear that Johnson has made a strong impression on Wilson.
"Theo's doing an unbelievable job of just stepping up, being confident, making plays," Wilson said following Tuesday's practice. "His confidence has been continually rising and his ability is just getting better and better. I think he really knows what I want him to do and he's practicing it, he's worked at it, we're talking about it, we're working at it at walk-throughs and practice obviously, getting extra time.
"If you ever notice, Theo gets all this extra work on the side throughout practice and I think that's valuable work and just the dialogue – I think any time you have a great quarterback-receiver relationship, -tight end relationship, it's communication, it's vision, it's feel and it's just making plays as well."
RB Dante Miller
Dante Miller put together a strong preseason performance last year before spending the year on the practice squad, and the young back seemed to pick up right where he left off. Despite the Giants struggling in the run game against the Bills, Miller found a way to still make a big impact. The second-year running back ended the game with just 22 rushing yards, but he also led both teams with seven receptions (on seven targets) for 80 yards. His outing resulted in Daboll naming him the Player of the Game.
In addition to his production on offense, Miller also played a role on special teams as he picked up a solo tackle. Miller is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster, and given the depth the Giants have at the position, special teams is where the young back could make a difference.
"He's not just competing against running backs, it's competing against other positions that are fighting for roster spots special teams-wise," Daboll said on Sunday. "Special teams will be important. You have a starting running back , we have a starting running back and we have a couple other running backs that we think are going to help us and then Turbo is firmly in that mix based on his performance, but special teams will be very important for him and the roles that he can help us with in those areas relative to making the roster and going through a game. He got Player of The Game on offense for us this game and he did a lot of good things for us and we'll keep on working with him."
OL Marcus Mbow
Positional versatility is something Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen have preached ever since they arrived in East Rutherford. When the Giants selected Marcus Mbow in the fifth round of this year's draft, the media learned that the offensive lineman had been training at all five spots along the line leading up to the draft. We saw Mbow line up at several different spots up front dating back to the spring, but what he did against the Bills was truly impressive.
The 22-year-old began at right tackle before switching over to left tackle after a few series. As if that wasn't enough, he then moved back to the right tackle later in the game. In total, Mbow was on the field for 35 pass-blocking snaps and only surrendered one total pressure, according to Pro Football Focus. It's safe to say Mbow has impressed his fellow rookie that he has been tasked with protecting this summer.
"He's level-headed for sure, and I think that that's one of his strengths, because as a rookie you're going to make mistakes, and there's a lot of learning that you have to do, and I think that it's kind of just shown his maturity," Dart said about the young lineman. "He makes a mistake, he doesn't get flustered, he's able to come back and answer. He's been thrown into a lot of different situations, him starting with the threes and making jumps and playing with the ones. I thought that he's done a great job, and he's a guy that I felt coming to work each and every day, that he's really been consistent in his process of getting here early, doing extra, and I know that he's hungry, and he wants to do the best of what he does."
"I thought he did a good job, protected well, is athletic, knew all the plays, the assignments that he had," Daboll added the day after the game. "He's had a good camp up to this point. We played him on both sides and he's done a nice job since he's been here."
OLB Abdul Carter
We continue on with the strong performances from the rookie class with Abdul Carter. The No. 3 overall pick did not play much last weekend, as numerous members of the starting defense played just six total snaps. Of those six snaps, three were passing plays, of which the 21-year-old registered a pressure on each one, according to PFF. Three-for-three in pressures in your first game ever is not a bad way to get your NFL career started.
Carter was active during the joint practices against the Jets. The rookie outside linebacker found himself in the backfield on a consistent basis, regardless of which Jets offensive lineman he went up against. The addition of Carter has led to many members of the media anointing the Giants' pass rush as one of the best in the NFL. A common theme this summer from the leaders on the defensive front has been that the unit has not actually accomplished anything yet, and so all of the praises they are receiving are premature. That message has seemingly resonated with the rookie in the room.
"It's all cool but you can't get into it too much," Carter said about the hype surrounding the pass rush. "I feel like once you start to drown yourself in that, you can get distracted so I feel like what those guys are saying in terms of us not proving it yet is real. We got to get to the season and show that dominance before we can call ourselves anything."
We don't know yet how many snaps he will get against the Jets on Saturday. Given Carter's performance last weekend in Buffalo, it will be exciting to see the rookie go out there and compete for however many snaps the coaching staff gives him as he continues to develop his game heading into the regular season.
