Giants, Jets hold preseason practice together for first time in 17 years

The New York Jets and the New York Giants held a joint preseason practice for the first time in 17 years Thursday, something coaches Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll want to make an annual event.

Unlike last time, the rival franchises didn't rumble.

"I know you guys all came looking for a fight, but a lot of respect for Daboll," said Saleh, now in his second season with the Jets. "And we want to make a habit out of this. Not just because we’re playing each other in the preseason, but we’d like to break up camp. We’re too close for it not to work. If we as a team can make it work, then we can both help each other a lot."

The Jets and Giants have played an annual preseason game since 1969 — the exception being the 2020 season, when COVID-19 wiped out the preseason. The teams will wrap up their 2-0 preseasons Sunday in another game at MetLife Stadium.

There were no major injuries in workout that lasted roughly 90 minutes at the Giants' training facility, though a two-minute drill at the end of the workout was scrubbed because both teams are banged up.

Jets cornerback D.J. Reed and rookie DE Jermaine Johnson both left practice to be checked on by trainers. Saleh said they’re both fine, and Johnson was able to return late in the session.

Giants starting outside linebacker Azeez Okulari seemed to hurt something in his lower leg running sprints after the workout. The team's sack leader last season (8 1/2) missed the start of training camp with a hamstring.
