5 Giants with the most on the line vs. the Jets: Does Odell Beckham need to win a spot?
Big Blue View • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants have one preseason game left to finalize their 53-man roster, with several players on the roster bubble and depth chart still competing for playing time.
- WR Odell Beckham Jr.'s chances of making the team improved after Calvin Austin's injury, but he needs to prove he is one of the Giants' top four receivers to have a significant role.
- RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. has struggled in preseason but is unlikely to be cut; however, he risks falling down the depth chart or being traded if the Giants prefer other running backs.
- DL Darius Alexander must show growth, especially as a run defender, to maintain his place in the defensive line rotation amid concerns about the Giants' defensive line depth.
- CBs Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo are both fighting for starting roles, with Banks having impressed recently and Adebo needing to reclaim a starter position, while OC Bryan Hudson aims to solidify his spot by capitalizing on opportunities at center and guard.
