The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins meet on Saturday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium in a preseason game that arrives with an unusually physical backdrop. Just two days earlier, the clubs held a joint practice in Miami Gardens that featured multiple scrums and several punches thrown as tempers flared under the South Florida heat.
Both sides are expected to rest a significant number of starters after the competitive session. Giants coach John Harbaugh indicated following Thursday’s workout that the coaching staff would evaluate how much game action certain players needed, noting that some already received enough quality work against the Dolphins.
The result is a contest that should provide extended opportunities for backups and younger players
to make an impression while the regulars get valuable recovery time ahead of the final preseason week.
