NY Jets Aaron Rodgers will not play in Preseason finale: How to watch Jets-Giants

Will Aaron Rodgers play or not? That’s the question New York Jets fans’ always seem to be wondering these days, and now we have an answer ahead of the clash with the New York Giants for their 2024 NFL Preseason finale at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, August 24 (8/24/2024) at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Rodgers, the New York Jets star quarterback who missed all of the 2023 NFL Season, has said he doesn’t “really have a preference” whether he plays or not during the highly anticipated NFL Preseason game against the Giants.

“If [Robert] Saleh wants us to, then we will. I don’t know what he told you guys, but we haven’t been told anything yet,” Rodgers told the media earlier in the week after a joint practice with the Giants.

Now Saleh has confirmed that Rodgers will sit the game out, as he has all preseason long, during a press conference on Thursday. Saleh said most of the team’s other starters will also stay on the bench on Saturday.

The Jets are undefeated in the postseason so far, even without Rodgers on the field. Saleh has been cautious with Rodgers in practice during the preseason, wary of another season-ending mishap like what happened in the Jets Week 1 game against Buffalo last season.

The Jets went 15-12 over the panthers last week, while the Giants fell 28-10 to the Houston Texans. Here’s how to tune in on Saturday.
