Overview
- Roy Robertson‑Harris tore his Achilles while rushing the passer in an 11‑on‑11 drill at the Giants’ OTA, a practice injury first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by multiple outlets on Friday.
- The tear is expected to keep the 32‑year‑old out for the 2026 season, removing a player who started all 17 games for New York in 2025 and carried a significant snap share.
- The loss compounds interior uncertainty created when the Giants traded Dexter Lawrence this offseason, turning a planned reshaping of the front into an urgent depth problem.
- New York will lean on veteran signings D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris plus younger options such as Darius Alexander and rookie Bobby Jamison‑Travis to fill reps, and the team could add another tackle before camp.
- This is the second Achilles tear reported for the Giants in May, a development that raises short‑term roster and schematic questions and shifts Robertson‑Harris’ focus to a long rehab and recovery.
