Three things to watch when the Giants play the Jets in their first preseason opener Thursday night:
Passing the test
Eli Manning historically is so-so in the preseason. If he plays, it would be comforting for the Giants to see him get off to a fast start in his cameo appearance, as it is his second year running Pat Shurmur’s offense, and it should be second nature by now. After that, all eyes will be on Daniel Jones as the rookie and next in line after Eli makes his NFL debut, albeit in a preseason affair.
