The New York Giants are facing the grim prospect that wide receiver Gunner Olszewski will miss the entire 2026 season after suffering a potential Achilles tendon tear during practice on Friday.
The 29-year-old went down with a non-contact injury during the session and needed to be carted off the field. He will undergo further examinations and testing, but early fears indicate that he has sustained an injury that could end his season before it even began.
If confirmed, Olszewski would be the third Giants player to tear his Achilles this offseason, an alarming trend for the team. The wide receiver has been with the Giants since 2023, and his injury is also a significant blow to new head coach John Harbaugh.
The Giants already have concerns at the wide receiver position, with Malik Nabers recovering from a torn ACL. Nabers recently underwent a second procedure on his right knee to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness. The team is hopeful, rather than confident, that the impressive Nabers will be ready to play in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
More updates to follow as the situation develops.
