The Jets reportedly plan to limit playing time for many of their key players in the final preseason game against the Giants. According to a report, Jets quarterback Geno Smith is not expected to play in Thursday night’s matchup, and most of the Jets’ starters who have already appeared in the preseason are anticipated to sit out this game.
Head coach Aaron Glenn declined to reveal definitive plans days ahead of the game, signaling a cautious approach. He emphasized focusing on practice and preparing for the regular season, suggesting that the next practice would be the priority for the team.
With top veterans not expected to participate, the next visible action for these players will come when the games matter most: the regular-season opener. The Jets will begin their 2026 campaign on the road against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.
This is a developing story, and additional details may emerge closer to kickoff.
