NY Giants training camp 2025 practice highlights from the sidelines
See and hear New York Giants players in highlights during training camp practices from the sideline in East Rutherford.
At long last, Aaron Glenn returns home.
After being named to two Pro Bowls with the organization and spending his first eight seasons in the NFL in East Rutherford, Glenn makes his first appearance at MetLife Stadium as head coach of the New York Jets.
He made his head coaching debut last weekend at Lambeau Field, where Gang Green took care of business against the Packers with a 30-10 victory.
It’s also the likely the Meadowlands debut for starting QB Justin Fields, who operated a 10-play, 79-yard touchdown drive on his sole possession last weekend in Green Bay that was capped off with a 13-yard rushing touchdown for the dual threat QB.
Now comes the annual “Snoopy Bowl” or “MetLife Bowl” between the Jets and Giants, with Gang Green leading the all-time preseason series 29-25-1, including four straight victories over their MetLife Stadium partners.
The Bergen Record is bringing you live updates, scores and highlights from the game between the Giants and Jets. Follow along.
Following a short and abbreviated first drive, head coach Aaron Glenn decided to keep his starters out there and for good reason.
This time, the Jets kept it essentially all on the ground as 10 of the 12 plays on that drive were runs, with Braelon Allen and Breece Hall both taking turns pounding their way down the field.
The drive did stall on third and short, with Glenn deciding to take the points this time as kicker Nick Folk made a 38-yard field goal to cut into the Giants lead.
You read that right. On 1st and 10 at their own 19-yard line, Giants’ starting QB Russell Wilson launched a moonball to wide receiver Beaux Collins for an 80-yard gain down to the Jets’ one-yard line.
Two plays later, Devin Singletary was able to squeak into the end zone to give Big Blue an early 7-0 lead.
Lets see how the QB Justin Fields and the Jets starting offensive responds.
During the Jets first drive, we got a look at the NFL’s new virtual measurement system that’s taking over as the identifier for if the football crossed the line for a first down.
This came on a 3rd and 1, where Jets’ RB Braelon Allen rushed for no gain. After the virtual measurement review, it was revealed that Gang Green was exactly an inch short of a first down. The Jets would go for it at the Giants’ 49-yard line and converted on a three-yard run by Allen to continue the drive.
After a 38-yard kickoff return from Kene Nwangwu, the Jets couldn’t muster anything going on offense after getting a first down. QB Justin Fields had one throw that was too low and another that was too high, leading to a quick three and out despite the great field position.
Joe Tippmann, who’s starting at center after Josh Meyers did last week, also had a high snap on the first drive.
Nine players — including starters Quinnen Williams, Allen Lazard and Jermaine Johnson — will sit out tonight’s preseason game against the Giants. Here’s the full list of all Jets players that will be inactive for this preseason game:

The must-see battle early in this game will be clear. It comes up front in between the trenches.
It didn’t matter where the Giants’ and Jets’ held their two joint practices this past week, as Big Blue’s front of Brian Burns and Abdul Carter wreaked havoc against Gang Green’s starting offensive line both days.
Aaron Glenn had high praise for Carter — the No. 3 overall pick in April’s Draft — after his performance against starting tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou. “He’s a damn good player, we all know that, and he’s gonna make some plays in this league.”
Tonight will be another barometer test for the pair of young tackles on how they handle this ferocious Giants front after they struggled in the joint practices.
Backup QB situation
Given the fact that he played a series last week in Green Bay, the assumption here is that QB Justin Fields will likely get a limited amount of run in his MetLife debut for Gang Green. It gets much more interesting after Fields leaves the field (pun intended).
Despite not suiting up in the first preseason game, it was announced earlier this week that backup QB Tyrod Taylor will be out for the preseason as he underwent a knee scope and “hopefully” will be back for Week 1, Glenn said.
With that news, the Jets worked out veteran QBs C.J. Beathard and Nathan Peterman on Thursday. While they haven’t signed either yet, that could change depending on tonight’s performance.
Rookie QB Brady Cooke entered last week’s contest for the remainder of the first half once Fields left. The more impressive showing came in the second half. Now listed as the backup QB, Adrien Martinez led three scoring drives over the course of third and fourth quarter and finished 11-for-16 with 152 yards and a 24-yard touchdown pass to third string tight end Stone Smartt against the Packers.
