Gunner Olszewski: Everything you need to know

Olszewski (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve by the Giants on Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. 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.

Olszewski will have surgery on his ruptured Achilles on Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Olszewski tore his Achilles in practice during OTAs on Friday. The injury will sideline him for the entirety of the upcoming campaign. Olszewski had been expected to work as the Giants' primary kick and punt returner as well as serve as depth at wideout.

Olszewski is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles at Friday's OTAs practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Olszewski went down with a non-contact injury as he was coming off the line to run a route, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. He'll undergo further testing to confirm the diagnosis, but a torn Achilles would certainly knock Olszewski out for the 2026 regular season. In 16 regular-season games with the Giants last season, Olszewski caught 10 of 13 targets for 145 yards and one touchdown. He also handled primary returner duties for New York.
