Live updates: Detroit Lions at New York Giants, NFL preseason opener
The Detroit Lions begin their 2024 preseason going up against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. This is the second straight year the Lions and Giants will open their preseason schedule facing each other.
The Lions and Giants have had an interesting few days, to say the least. The teams participated in joint practices earlier this week, with fights breaking out on both Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, it was announced that both teams would be fined $200,000 each, as the league doesn’t tolerate fighting at these practices.
Don’t expect to see much from the starters on either team, but the preseason is to see what impact other players can make and who can make their case for being on the opening week roster. Players to watch for the Lions include second-year QB Hendon Hooker, who missed playing last season from rehabbing a torn ACL, and rookie CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr. As for the Giants, look out for their 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers.
The Lions also are debuting their new uniforms.
