Tough Night for the New York Football Giants in their preseason finale.
The New York Giants fell 10-6 to the New York Jets in their preseason finale. The game highlighted some significant concerns as the team prepares for the regular season.
DeVito Struggles, but Still Has a Chance.
Tommy DeVito struggled against the Jets’ backups, completing only 14 of 27 passes for 103 yards and getting sacked eight times. Despite these struggles, he led the team in rushing with 48 yards. With Daniel Jones’ injury history and Drew Lock currently sidelined, DeVito could still make the roster. However, if the Giants decide to part ways with him, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Evan Neal’s Rough Return.
Evan Neal’s return from the PUP List didn’t go as planned. Although he started off solid, his performance quickly declined. Neal allowed several sacks, looking like his old self rather than someone ready to reclaim his spot. It seems Jermaine Eluemunor is set to be the Giants’ right tackle going forward.
Bubble Players Face Uncertainty
Isaiah Hodgins’ roster spot is in jeopardy, and after tonight’s performance, it wouldn’t be shocking if he gets cut. The Giants’ defense also struggled with missed tackles, which could lead to many bubble players being released. However, K.J. Cloyd made a strong case for himself with 16 tackles, including eight solo and two for a loss.
Preparing for the Regular Season.
With preseason over, the focus shifts to the regular season opener against the Vikings on September 8th. The Giants will be monitoring waiver cuts and exploring potential trades, with needs at cornerback, backup offensive line, and possibly a young quarterback. Cutdown day is Tuesday, August 27th, when rosters must be trimmed to 53 players by 4 PM EST.
