Giants Place WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton on Injured Reserve, Re-sign Gunner Olszewski

The New York Giants placed wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton on injured reserve after he suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear during practice, marking a tough setback for the player who had previously battled a torn ACL. To fill the void, the Giants re-signed veteran wide receiver and special teams player Gunner Olszewski, who had spent the previous season on injured reserve due to a groin injury. Olszewski, known for his punt return skills and a First Team All-Pro selection in 2020, provides depth and experience to the Giants' special teams and return game. He has a history of strong performance, including an 11.9-yard average on punt returns and a punt return touchdown, and has played for the Patriots, Steelers, and Giants. Head coach Brian Daboll expressed sympathy for Ford-Wheaton's injury, emphasizing the difficulty of losing dedicated players. The roster move aims to bolster the Giants' special teams unit following Ford-Wheaton’s injury.
