After wrapping up training camp this week, the Jets will complete their preseason slate Saturday night against the Giants at MetLife Stadium. Head coach Robert Saleh sat 28 and 32 players, respectively, in wins over Washington and Carolina and he'll end the preseason with Aaron Rodgers and his starters as spectators a final time.

"It's going to be consistent with what we've done the first two games," said Saleh, who also added, "I feel like we've gotten so much good work with three quality opponents over the course of three weeks. Last year, we didn't scrimmage with the Giants. This year, we've had three different scrimmages, and I feel like the work we've gotten in has been very productive."

Not only do the Jets have a 40-year-old star quarterback in Rodgers, who has been excellent in practices, but Saleh, in his fourth year at the helm, just put his team through a rigorous camp.

"I think it's different because our first year we were still a very young team, young staff," said Saleh. "This is Year 4 four really speaking the same languages all the way across the board. We needed those reps. If you remember that year it was high volume, and we were still playing. We were scrimmaging against teams, and we still went out during the game because we needed it. And it's not that we don't need it, it's just that this is a much more veteran group. We've gotten four years under our belts of playing the game side -by -side, so now it's just an allocation because it's all about reps and how many reps you need to get yourself ready to play."

Speaking of decisions, the Jets have a 53-man roster deadline at 4 p.m. Tuesday. While the Jets-Giants contest won't count in the standings, it could have significant implications for multiple players vying for a position or a job somewhere else. Here are 5 reasons to watch:

Defensive Tackle Battle
Can a fifth DT push for a spot? Quinnen Williams, Javon Kinlaw, Solomon Thomas and Leki Fotu are the top four players on the unofficial depth chart. Bruce Hector, who's bounced around all over the map since signing with the Eagles in 2018, has quietly had a strong camp and has totaled 6 tackles and 2 TFL in two games. Rookie Leonard Taylor, an undrafted free agent from Miami, has made some splash plays and produced 3 TFL. Tanzel Smart, who lined up in seven games for the Jets in 2022-23, is another familiar name in the mix.

Landscape at Wideout
The Jets' top five seem firmly in place with star Garrett Wilson joined by Mike Williams, who is off PUP but has yet to take team drills; Xavier Gipson; Allen Lazard; and Malachi Corley. Irv Charles had 6 special teams stops last season and the Jets are replacing Justin Hardee (FA, Cleveland) on coverage units. Jason Brownlee has rebounded from a slow start to camp, and he could add to his résumé Saturday night while catching passes from Adrian Martinez. Brandon Smith, a 6-2, 220-pounder from Iowa, has averaged 20.3 yards a catch on his 4 receptions.

Izzy Could Get Busy
The Jets have a roster highlighted by its frontline talent and depth. Running back is a prime example as Breece Hall was joined in the offseason by the impressive rookie duo of Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. Allen, the powerful back from Wisconsin, has averaged 5.8 yards on his 14 preseason attempts. Davis has caught 5 balls and been used in the return game as well. Israel Abanikanda, a fifth-round pick from Pittsburgh in 2023, continues to run hard and could see a lot of action against the Giants. It will be interesting to see how many backs the Jets keep on Tuesday.

Fortified Offensive Line
The Jets' new-look offensive line has Robert Saleh excited heading into the season.

"I love the way our O-line is coming together, and I'm not just talking about their play style," said Saleh. " I'm just talking about they actually like being around each other. I've always said it with the defense – the defense likes being around each other. The offense, you see certain position groups, I think they're actually starting to enjoy being around one another because there's a lot of like minds. And I've liked the way they've come together, the way they root for one another, the way they play for one another and other, the way they communicate with one another – it's turning into a pretty cool group."

Beyond the starters, the depth has improved significantly. Olu Fashanu has been cross-training at both tackle spots, and Ts Carter Warren and Max Mitchell can play either side. Wes Schweitzer is a valuable depth piece in an interior group that also includes Chris Glaser, Xavier Newman and Jake Hanson. If the Jets keep 10 OL, how many spots are left to claim?

Return to Glory
The Jets' current return options include Xavier Gipson ,and rookies Isiah Davis and Malachi Corley, but there's another first-year player who is looking to build off a dynamic effort last Saturday in Carolina. Brandon Codrington, who had 4 return TDs at North Carolina Central, raced for a 63-yard kickoff return and added a 31-yard punt return in the third quarter of the Green & White's 15-12 win over the Panthers. He has a chance to leave a lasting impression at MetLife Stadium as the NFL enters a new phase with the dynamic kickoff.
