The New York Giants started their 2026 preseason campaign with a 13-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, in which both sides of the ball left room for improvement. In their second preseason game, they will take on the Miami Dolphins on the road.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh doesn’t care that it’s preseason. He wants to win every game because winning now, in the preseason, gets the team into the right frame of mind for the regular season. And so, this week, he'll look to get his team back on track against Jeff Hafley and the Miami Dolphins on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium.

Harbaugh has not made public his plans for the starters, many of whom saw roughly a dozen snaps in the preseason opener. The team is coming off an intense joint practice with Miami on Thursday, so it wouldn’t be a shock if many of the starters get the day off.

The Giants, for what it’s worth, emerged as the better of the two squads in the joint practice. Will they carry their practice momentum into the game on Saturday?
