Malik Nabers vs. Sauce Gardner will take top billing among Jets-Giants practice matchups
NY Post
Is Giants-Jets a real rivalry?
Regionally, yes. In the standings, no.
But for the next two days, the Giants and Jets will share the practice field (Tuesday in Florham Park and Wednesday in East Rutherford) and give us clues to which team has more reason to be optimistic that the time is now for an overdue turnaround. They face off at 7 p.m. Saturday at MetLife Stadium, too.
Here are five matchups worth watching:
Giants WR Malik Nabers vs. Jets CB Sauce Gardner: If Nabers, who is managing a toe injury, is going to end the season in the conversation for the best receiver in the league, a good place to start is by taking it to the new highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. Gardner played well against the Packers to start what he hopes is a rebound season.
Jets WR Garrett Wilson vs. Giants CB Paulson Adebo: Adebo secured a three-year, $54 million contract to be a No. 1 cornerback. His first test is the bendy Wilson, who just received his own big bag of cash and has a long-established rapport with QB Justin Fields. The hope is they match up in one-on-one drills since Adebo doesn’t travel with receivers in 11-on-11.

For the New York Giants (among others), identifying the right head coach has become an unsolvable Rubik’s Cube.
Home-ice advantage has not existed at Madison Square Garden this season.

The number of people who have asked me what the “J.T. Miller Experience” has been like since the Rangers brought the impassioned forward back to New York is comical.
Rockets coach Ime Udoka blasted off on the referees following Monday’s overtime loss to the Nuggets, calling it “just in general, the most poorly officiated game I’ve seen in a long time.”
The Yankees never seemed to be real players for Ketel Marte, but any small potential of acquiring him has another hurdle.
With every loss by the Giants, interim head coach Mike Kafka is moving further away from sharing company with the likes of Jason Garrett and Doug Marrone.
On Tuesday night in Las Vegas, the Knicks will play for their first trophy of the century. Soon, an orange-and-blue banner could be raised at Madison Square Garden for just the second time since 1999.
Aaron Glenn was proactive.
Matt Rempe confirmed he broke his left thumb in “many places” during his early season fight with the Sharks’ Ryan Reaves and had to undergo surgery to repair it.
