New York Giants

Rico Payton

CB

The cornerback is thus slated to spend the coming campaign on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Giants. The 26-year-old is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 12 tackles in nine contests while working in a reserve role in New York's secondary.

C.J. Ravenell

DE

Ravenell was cut from injured reserve by the Titans on Monday, and the nature of his injury has yet to be disclosed. The depth defensive end suited up for 14 regular-season games last year under New York's current defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who held that position for Tennessee in 2025.

Devin Singletary

RB

Singletary is projected to continue providing a veteran presence in a change-of-pace role similar to the one in which he produced 437 rushing yards and five touchdowns in the 2025 regular season. That rushing yards total exactly matched Singletary's output in his first season with the Giants in 2024. Of Singletary's 119 carries in 2025, 91 came after Skattebo suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8.

Jaxson Dart

QB

With Brian Daboll and his staff out the door, Dart has a whole new coaching staff to work with in his second season, from offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to senior offensive assistant Greg Roman to passing game coordinator and QBs coach Brian Callahan. Harbaugh and Roman come from a Ravens team that leaned heavily on the run game, while Nagy and Callahan previously worked with Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow in Kansas City and Cincinnati respectively. It's still unclear what this offense is going to look like from a pass-to-run ratio standpoint, but Dart will need to do a better job of protecting himself and staying on the field after he missed two games and parts of a couple others to injuries last season.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.

RB

Skattebo had taken over as the Giants' lead back in 2025, but after sustaining his injury in Week 8, Tracy took on the role, en route to recording 176 carries for 740 yards and two TDs to go along with a 36/288/2 receiving line in 15 regular-season contests. While Skattebo is still ramping up toward full practice participation, he's on track to be "ready to go" ahead of Week 1, thus putting him in a position to reclaim top billing in New York's backfield, though Tracy still figures see his share of touches in 2026 alongside Skattebo, with veteran RB Devin Singletary also in the mix. Eric Gray, Dante Miller and Damon Bankston are also on hand in reserve as training camp approaches.

Cam Skattebo

RB

Skattebo also said he won't let "this little ankle thing" bother him, promising "normal Cam Skattebo" when he gets back on the field. He's now eight months removed from surgery, after suffering a dislocated ankle, fractured tibia and ruptured deltoid ligament in October. It's the type of injury that can seriously impact a player's speed and explosion long after he's gained medical clearance, but Skattebo has youth (24 years old) working in his favor and seems to be advancing through the rehab process as fast as anyone reasonably could've hoped for. He even took part in some 11-on-11s during June minicamp, albeit on a limited basis. The next major step is to gain clearance for training camp, where the Giants' new coaching staff will work with a backfield that looks nearly identical to last year's. Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, Eric Gray and Dante Miller are all still with the team, though only Tracy likely represents any kind of threat to Skattebo's usage.

Jalin Hyatt

WR

Hyatt was limited to the side field during spring practices, but the 2023 third-round pick now appears back to full health. The 24-year-old was regularly a healthy scratch in 2025 and suited up for only 10 regular-season games, totaling eight catches for 35 yards on 14 targets. He's competing with players like Braxton Berrios, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Odell Beckham, Isaiah Hodgins, Beaux Collins (concussion) and Ryan Miller for a roster spot.

Thomas Fidone II

TE

Fidone appeared in seven games for the Giants during his rookie campaign, failing to record an offensive statistic while playing 94 total snaps (80 on special teams, 14 on offense). Once fully healthy, the Nebraska product will likely compete for a depth spot in New York's tight end room.

Abdul Carter

LB

Leonard also noted that Carter had his ankle tightly wrapped during Wednesday's walkthrough, but it's an encouraging sign that he's not wearing a boot. The 22-year-old edge rusher is targeting a return for the beginning of training camp.

Malik Nabers

WR

It sounds much more optimistic than Harbaugh's quotes from three weeks prior (May 21), when he told reports that Nabers was in the "slog of [his rehab], the grind of it." Harbaugh now estimates that the star wideout is three-fourths of the way through his rehab, which perhaps sounds promising yet still makes Nabers highly unlikely to be ready for the start of training camp. While the Giants have yet to comment on expectations for the regular season, fantasy managers should assume a high level of risk that Nabers isn't ready for Week 1. His injury entailed a a meniscus tear in addition to an ACL tear, and he had a procedure in April to remove scar tissue that formed after the initial surgery (Oct. 28).

Beaux Collins

WR

It appears Collins has still not returned to full health after missing the Giants' final eight games last season with a neck injury and a concussion. The Notre Dame product caught two of six targets for 25 yards across nine contests in 2025, contributing on both offense (84 snaps) and special teams (110 snaps). Once fully healthy, Collins is expected to compete for a similar role ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Roy Robertson-Harris

DT

Coach John Harbaugh said he believes Robertson-Harris could play at some point during the 2026 campaign, so at least for now, he's avoiding IR. Until he's available again, veteran Shelby Harris could be called upon for additional work on the defensive line with the first team.

Gunner Olszewski

WR

The kick and punt returner tore his Achilles during OTAs on Friday and now will have to miss the 2026 campaign. Olszewski was in line to retain the returner role he played for New York in 2025.

Braxton Berrios

WR

Across four regular-season games with the Texans last year, Berrios caught six passes for 37 yards on eight targets. He also recorded 81 kickoff-return yards and 25 punt-return yards. The former Jet and Dolphin may need to find a special-teams role to have a chance to make the G-Men.

JuJu Smith-Schuster

WR

Along with Smith-Schuster, the Giants are in line to add Odell Beckham and Braxton Berrios, adding depth to a WR corps that's led by Malik Nabers (knee), when healthy. In 17 regular-season games with the Chiefs in 2025, Smith-Schuster put up a 33-345-1 line on 45 targets, and with New York, the 29-year-old will have an opportunity to compete with Darius Slayton (abdomen) , Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, Malachi Fields, Isaiah Hodgins and Beckham for targets that don't go Nabers' way.

Odell Beckham Jr.

WR

Beckham will return to New York and compete for a depth role at wide receiver alongside Calvin Austin, Malachi Fields and Isaiah Hodgins, with Darius Slayton (abdomen) and Darnell Mooney being the top candidates to join Malik Nabers (ACL) in three-wide sets. The 33-year-old veteran played for the Giants from 2014-18 and has since logged stints with the Browns, Rams, Ravens and Dolphins. Beckham's last regular-season action came in 2024 with Miami, when he was limited to nine catches for 55 yards across as many appearances. Beckham doesn't boast the skill set to fill the void on special teams left by Gunner Olszewski's season-ending Achilles injury, though to that end Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that New York also plans to sign Braxton Berrios.

Josh Tupou

DT

The 32-year-old has spent each of the last two seasons in Baltimore, appearing in just six regular-season games while splitting time between the practice squad and active roster. Now with the Giants, Tupou will likely compete for a reserve role along the defensive line as the offseason progresses.

Evan Neal

OT

Neal didn't participate in a regular-season game for the Giants last year, both due to his performance and various injuries. Nevertheless, Neal re-signed with the Giants in March. The 2022 first-round pick is expected to serve in a rotational role in 2026.

John Michael Schmitz Jr.

C

Head coach John Harbaugh's entrance means that nothing is a given on the Giants' roster. The Giants added Lucas Patrick this offseason, and he could be in the mix for the starting center job with a strong offseason program and training camp.

Andrew Thomas

OT

Thomas finished the season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, and while it appears he's past that issue, the 2020 first-round pick is dealing with a pair of minor injuries. Injuries have been an issue for Thomas, as he has played 29 games over the past three seasons.

Darius Muasau

LB

Muasau suffered an ankle injury in the season finale, but there are no lingering issues to start the offseason program. Muasau stacked up 51 tackles (24 solo) and 1.0 sacks through 12 games in 2025. With the addition of fifth-overall pick Arvell Reese and free-agent acquisition Tremaine Edmunds, Muasau will compete for a depth role heading into the 2026 campaign.

Kayvon Thibodeaux

LB

Dunleavy previously reported that Thibodeaux was less likely to be traded by the Giants following the trade of Dexter Lawrence in April. Now, Thibodeaux appears back to full health after a shoulder injury forced him to miss the final seven games of the 2025 season. He's aiming for a bounce-back season, as he produced just 7.0 sacks over his last two seasons combined (22 games). There's plenty of talent to work with, however, as he generated 11.5 sacks during the 2023 campaign.

Tyler Nubin

S

Nubin finished the 2025 season on injured reserve due to a neck injury. The 2024 second-round pick impressed through his first two seasons, recording 176 tackles (106 solo) and three pass breakups through 26 games. He'll likely start at strong safety once again in 2026, although the addition of Jason Pinnock -- a starter for the Giants in 2023 and 2024 -- represents some level of competition.

Thaddeus Dixon

CB

Despite going undrafted, there were high hopes for Dixon, who received $282,500 guaranteed in his contract (one of the largest among the rookie class), according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Dixon went undrafted in part because of an existing hamstring injury, so this is another tough break for the rookie. Because of his placement on injured reserve, Dixon won't play in 2026 even if he's able to heal up before the end of the season.

Dominic Zvada

PK

Zvada was fantastic in his junior season at Michigan, connecting on 21 of 22 field-goal attempts (95.5 percent) while earning Big Ten Kicker of the Year honors. However, he struggled mightily as a senior, hitting just 17 of 25 field-goal tries (68.0 percent). Zvada is a longshot for the starting job while competing against Jason Sanders -- who hit 90 percent of field goals in 2025 -- and Ben Sauls -- who was perfect in three games as a rookie.
