Giants fans will be worried after seeing Daniel Jones throw two interceptions in the game against the Texans. The 27-year-old quarterback signed a four-year $160 million deal last season and has two years left on his deal.

This upcoming season is crucial for Jones. If he fails to perform or gets injured again, the Giants will look to find his replacement next year via the draft or in free agency. Dak Prescott is expected to be a free agent next year and remains a likely candidate to be the next Giants' quarterback.

Giants linebacker Micah McFadden was carted off the field and didn't return to play due to a hip injury. His situation will be worth monitoring leading up to the regular season.

As for Texas, things are looking good for the reigning AFC South champions. They have won two out of their three preseason games this season, and their star quarterback, Stroud, hasn't missed a beat from last year. Hopefully, their star receivers Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Nico Collins remain healthy.
