35 Not Expected to Play When Jets Meet the Giants in Preseason Finale

The Jets meet the Giants for the 55th time in the past 56 summers when the regional NFL rivals conclude their preseasons against each other at MetLife Stadium tonight (kickoff shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET).

And as head coach Robert Saleh said, the Jets' lineup "will be consistent with what we've done the first two games," meaning that not only will virtually all of their projected regular-season starters rest for the third preseason game but that some of their top rookies will sit this one out as well.

A total of 35 players on the Jets' 90-man roster are listed as not expected to play. That includes starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers and experienced backup Tyrod Taylor. Saleh said Thursday that Adrian Martinez will start at QB and play the first half, while Andrew Peasley, who started last week's win at Carolina, will run the offense in the second half. As last week, Taylor wlll dress as the Jets' emergency QB but is not expected to play.

Among the others listed as not expected to play are rookie T Olu Fashanu and rookie RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis.

However, Davis will also dress although he's not expected to play. Also, DL Micheal Clemons and CB Brandin Echols will dress but are expected to stay on the sidelines for the game.

Here are the Jets not expected to play against the Giants on Saturday night, grouped by position:
