What happened: New York Giants insider Adam Schefter reports that three players have now torn their Achilles during the team's spring workouts: wide receiver and returner Gunner Olszewski, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, and cornerback Thaddeus Dixon. Olszewski was carted off the practice field and is awaiting additional testing to confirm the injury. The identical injuries have surfaced over a span of weeks this offseason.
Why it matters: Achilles tears typically cost players the better part of a season, putting all three in jeopardy of missing significant time as the Giants build toward the 2026 campaign. The losses thin New York's depth across three separate position groups — the receiver and return game, the defensive line, and the secondary — before training camp even opens.
By the numbers: By position: WR/returner Gunner Olszewski, DL Roy Robertson-Harris, CB Thaddeus Dixon. Dixon's tear was reported May 14, 2026; Olszewski's surfaced May 29 after he was carted off the field. No medical timelines for any of the three have been confirmed.
What to watch: The Giants await further testing to confirm Olszewski's diagnosis. Watch for roster moves or signings to offset the sudden depth losses ahead of the 2026 season.
