What happened: Giants receiver and returner Gunner Olszewski was carted off the practice field Friday with a non-contact injury, and sources told reporters the team fears he tore his Achilles. The injury occurred during an offseason practice session, with Olszewski helped off the field before being taken to the building. He will undergo additional testing to confirm the diagnosis.
Why it matters: Olszewski has built his NFL niche as a return specialist and depth receiver, so a confirmed Achilles tear would likely cost him most or all of the upcoming 2026 season and thin New York's special-teams group before training camp. It would also extend a rough injury stretch for the Giants, who lost UDFA cornerback Thaddeus Dixon to an Achilles tear earlier this month.
What to watch: The Giants await testing results to confirm whether the Achilles is torn; a confirmed tear would open a return-game competition and could push the team toward an outside addition before camp.
