Overview
- Thaddeus Dixon, an undrafted rookie corner from North Carolina, tore his Achilles during team workouts Wednesday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
- Dixon is expected to miss the 2026 season and has been placed on injured reserve, ending his first year before training camp.
- The Giants filled the open spot by signing veteran edge rusher Khalid Kareem, a move Giants.com managing editor Dan Salomone confirmed Thursday.
- New York also evaluated secondary help by working out cornerback Sam Webb as the team reassesses depth at defensive back.
- Dixon received a $282,500 guarantee after a hamstring issue limited his pre-draft testing, which made his loss a notable blow to a corner group counting on his development.
