What happened: The New York Giants are assessing the league landscape for additional deals after sending guard Daniel Faalele to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Why it matters: Injuries across the league have created potential landing spots for New York's surplus players. The Houston Texans lost receiver Jayden Higgins to a torn ACL during a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, while the Los Angeles Chargers lost center Tyler Biadasz to an ACL injury. The Detroit Lions could also seek veteran cornerback help.

What to watch: General manager Joe Schoen may move depth pieces at wide receiver, center, or cornerback for late-round draft capital before finalizing the regular-season roster.
