Cornerback battle and other things to watch in Giants' preseason finale
Share and Follow

Three things to watch for in the Giants’ preseason finale vs. the Patriots at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night:

1. Throughout the summer, Deonte Banks and Cor’Dale Flott engaged in a competitive battle for a starting cornerback position, though their journey wasn’t without challenges as both faced injuries that sidelined them at times.

The outcome may already be determined, suggesting that whoever participates most in the final preseason game might not necessarily have the edge in securing the role.

2. Do we see more of 278-pound defensive tackle Elijah Chatman lining up on offense at fullback?

In his quest to stay on the roster, a dual role for Chatman is being explored.

While the Giants may not rely heavily on a blocking back, if Chatman, with his robust build, can prove his worth in the backfield, it could significantly boost his chances of remaining with the team.

3. This figures to be the last time we see Tommy DeVito on the field in a Giants uniform.

He is QB4 and there are spots for only three.

In his short time with his hometown team, the Jersey kid acquitted himself well and that three-game winning streak in 2023 with him as the starter (that Monday night upset of the Packers was something) was beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.

DeVito deserves a nice round of applause on the way out.
