Arvell Reese discusses what he expects from the Giants and the team’s culture under new coach John Harbaugh.
For a second straight season, the New York Jets will play a familiar face in Week 1 of the regular season.
The Jets will begin their 2026 campaign on the road against Tennessee Titans, according to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz on Thursday morning.
This is notable as the Jets will face off against former head coach Robert Saleh for the first time since the organization fired him in 2024 after five games.
Saleh was the head coach of the Jets for four seasons, where he finished with a 20-36 record and .357 winning percentage during his 56 games at the helm for Gang Green.
