Welcome to Gillette

FOXBOROUGH -- Welcome to Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots host the Giants in the preseason finale for both clubs (Ch. 5, 7:30 p.m.).

The starters are not expected to play much tonight.

Punter Chris Hanson, who was officially signed by the Patriots today, will wear jersey No. 6.

Bill Carollo is the referee.

Six NFL scouts are scheduled to be in attendance for tonight's game -- from the Browns, Cowboys, Lions, Raiders, Eagles and Jets.

With a win tonight, the Patriots will finish the preseason with a record of .500 or better for the seventh time in eight preseasons since Bill Belichick became head coach.

We'll plan on passing along more updates throughout the night.
