First-round picks Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart will see their first NFL action on Saturday when the New York Giants face the Buffalo Bills in preseason action. Kickoff at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. will be at 1 p.m. ET, with the game televised on NFL Network and WNBC.
“It’s important. It’s important for all the young guys to get out there and experience live action in NFL games,” said Giants head coach Brian Daboll. “It’s their first one. It’s something they’ll always remember, too, these young players. We’ll give them as many reps as we can give them.”
In terms of who else would or would not play, Daboll would only say during the week that the Giants would “do what we think is best for the team.”
Apparently, that will include starters playing. Quarterback Russell Wilson is expected to start, meaning that other healthy first-team players should also see at least some action.
This is a homecoming of sorts for Daboll and GM Joe Schoen. Daboll, of course, grew up in the area and was Bills’ offensive coordinator before becoming head coach of the Giants. Schoen was assistant general manager for Buffalo before getting his current job.
