Overview
- The game kicks off Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET from SoFi Stadium and will air nationally on ESPN and ABC with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call.
- Los Angeles enters 0-1 after a 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne and placed edge Myles Garrett on injured reserve earlier this week following knee surgery.
- Aaron Donald is reported ready and expected to make his season debut, a development that could tighten Los Angeles’s run defense and pressure plans for New York’s offensive line.
- The Giants are 1-0 after a 28-20 Week 1 win led by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, but their cornerback group is depleted with Paulson Adebo on IR while Deonte Banks is doubtful and Greg Newsome III is uncertain.
- Betting markets and projection models favor the Rams by about a touchdown with the over/under near 47.5 points and several outlets highlighting the matchup changes caused by the injury news.
