Knock on the biggest piece of wood you can find, Giants and Jets fans.
Both local NFL teams finished the preseason Saturday night — with a 32-24 win for the Jets over the Giants in their annual matchup — and that means that they survived training camp without any significant long-term injuries.
Yes, a handful of bubble players, especially from the Giants, suffered injuries that could alter the back end of the 53-man rosters before cuts are finalized at 4 p.m. Tuesday, cost the teams some extra money in injury settlements and — from a human perspective — impact player livelihoods.
But, in terms of starters, key reserves, fantasy football draft picks and popular jersey-sellers, the Giants and Jets mostly emerged unscathed except for the pre-camp season-ending injury to Giants linebacker Jarrad Davis and the mysterious back injury that might carry into Week 1 for Jets defensive end Carl Lawson.
