Giants Defeat Jets 23-6 in Preseason Finale

The New York Giants secured a 23-6 victory over the New York Jets in their preseason finale at MetLife Stadium on August 28, 2026. The game showcased the depth of the Giants' running back position, as several players stepped up in the absence of starters. Cam Skattebo and veteran Devin Singletary were sidelined, allowing Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Najee Harris to take on the running back duties. Harris, who joined the Giants on August 18 after recovering from an Achilles injury, had a notable debut, finishing with 11 carries for 39 yards. Head coach John Harbaugh commented on Harris's performance, stating, "He hadn’t played for a full season, almost a whole season, so to see him out there, thought he looked good." Tracy also contributed with 4 carries for 37 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown run, before leaving the game due to an injury but cleared concussion protocol. The Giants also saw positive performances from wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who recorded three receptions for 53 yards. Harbaugh opted to keep quarterback Jaxson Dart on the sideline for this game, having previously played in the preseason opener against the Vikings on August 15. The Giants' next game will be their regular-season opener on September 13.
