NY Giants injury news: DT Roy Robertson-Harris suffers torn Achilles
Big Blue View • • sports
Key Points:
- New York Giants defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris tore his Achilles tendon during Thursday’s OTA, marking a significant setback for the team's defensive line.
- Robertson-Harris, a 10-year veteran who started all 17 games last season, primarily played as a defensive end in the Giants' 3-man front and was expected to be a key part of their new defensive scheme.
- Despite the injury, the Giants have bolstered their defensive line depth by signing Shelby Harris, Zacch Pickens, Leki Fotu, and Sam Roberts, which may help mitigate the impact of losing Robertson-Harris.
- Robertson-Harris is in the second year of a $9 million contract he signed in the 2025 offseason, and this marks the second Achilles injury for the Giants this year, following cornerback Thaddeus Dixon’s similar injury.
