The Giants report to training camp in Albany on July 28, practice for the first time the next day and soon after will be able to determine where they stand. On Aug. 6, the Jets will arrive for a visit.

The two teams will work out against each other twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, following an identical format to last year. Both teams got much out of those dual practice sessions. The Giants learned their offensive line was a work in progress and the Jets got the first glimpse that rookie linebacker Jonathan Vilma was a budding star.

There will not be any live hitting during these workouts, but the intensity always rises when another team is added into the mix.
