Giants Worked out 4 Veteran Wide Receivers After Injury News

Late last month the New York Giants suffered another season-ending injury ahead of the 2026 season.

Wide receiver Gunner Olszewski went down during organized team activities with a non-contact injury that was later determined to be a torn Achilles, the third such injury for the Giants this offseason. Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, who was expected to overtake the starting role after the team traded Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, also suffered a torn Achilles.

After losing Olszewski for the rest of the season, the Giants hosted four veteran wide receivers for workouts on Monday, June 1 to bolster the wide receiver corps.

Former Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been linked to the team for the better part of a month.

“We have just such an honest conversation about it. It’s got to be right for both parties,” new Giants coach John Harbaugh said last month. “Odell wants to be the kind of player that can make a difference. I’m pretty sure that he can make a team in the National Football League right now. But can he make a difference and is it something he wants to do and is his body going to hold up the way he wants it to?”

While OBJ was the headliner, but the team also worked out former Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who played the past two season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

New York also hosted Braxton Berrios and Anthony Miller, who could potentially replace Olszewski in the wide receiver room but also on special teams where he had 24 punt returns for 216 yards.
