Preseason Finale: Nabers Back to Full Speed as Giants Visit Jets

Read the full recap →

The New York Giants travel across the Meadowlands to face the Jets on Friday, August 28. Malik Nabers is finally practicing at full speed without a non-contact jersey for the first time since his knee injury, a positive sign heading into the season, while rookies Francis Mauigoa and Colton Hood also return to practice. Both teams are expected to rest their established starting quarterbacks in this finale.

Nabers' recovery keeps trending up

Shedding the non-contact jersey for full-speed work is the clearest sign yet that Nabers is close to a normal role for the regular season.

Giants get rookies back on track

Mauigoa and Hood returning to practice adds useful depth pieces back into the roster picture right before cuts.

Backup-driven finale for both sides

With presumed starters sitting for both teams, this game is about final roster evaluations rather than a real form guide.

Nabers' positive trend is a good sign for New York's offense

Even without him playing extensively in a finale, the Giants' overall momentum heading into the season is trending upward.

Both rookies returning adds depth for the Giants

Getting Mauigoa and Hood back gives New York more options to evaluate in the finale.

Backup-only football keeps this close

With no real starters expected to play, the final margin is hard to project with much confidence.

This is a preseason exhibition finale with both teams' presumed starters sitting. Confidence stays low given how unpredictable backup-driven football remains.
