Find out what time they will play, what network they’ll be on, etc. The New York Giants and the Detroit Lions will tangle in preseason action on Aug. 17, and for Giants fans, it will be a game that will present some interest. Coming off of a disastrous season that questioned how much longer Eli Manning has left in the tank, but the Giants re-tooled their team this offseason in the hopes of returning to contender status in the NFC East. The one obstacle that could stand in the way of that goal is the health of their star wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., who returned to the practice field recently and has proclaimed that he is 100 percent back from ankle surgery. For the sake of the Giants offense, he better be right. When: Friday, August 17 Where: Ford Field, Detroit, MI Time: 7:00 p.m. ET Watch on TV: WCBS (NY), WJBK (Detroit), NFL Network Watch Online: FuboTV, NFL GamePass (subscription required) Don’t think that this preseason tug-of-war won’t be interesting for the Lions, either. Detroit is looking like a team that has all of the chess pieces together to make a run in the NFC, only to either: A) Falter in the Wild Card Game or, B) Not make the playoffs at all. This is becoming frustrating for Lions fans, who are salivating at the chance for Matthew Stafford to finally lead this team to the promise land — or, at least the NFC Championship Game. Is this too hard to ask, Detroit? Can you give the fans that, instead of perennial disappointment? Like what has been the norm for the past four seasons? In short, both of these teams have a lot to play for, and a lot to prove, which makes this preseason game a much enticing matchup on a Friday night.<doc-sep>

(Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) The Detroit Lions will kick off their preseason home opener on Friday night when they face off against the New York Giants in Motown. The Detroit Lions will take on the New York Giants this Friday night, in their preseason opener at Ford Field. The Lions are coming off a close 16-10 loss to the Oakland Raiders in their first preseason game of the year which took place last week. Detroit showcased their new offensive backfield against the Raiders with running backs LeGarrette Blount and rookie Kerryon Johnson making their Motown debuts. In their second exhibition game, this time against the Giants, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will likely make his preseason debut in preparation for the regular season. For the Giants, first round running back and the second overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft Saquon Barkley was the talk of their preseason opener in Week One. Starting his career in the Big Apple with a 39-yard Barry Sanders-type run against the Cleveland Browns, Barkley is already a star in New York. Unfortunately, the rookie runner suffered a mild hamstring strain this week and his status for Friday’s preseason matchup is unknown.
