New York Giants defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris is placed on injured reserve following a torn Achilles tendon suffered during the team’s offseason program. According to reports, the Giants initially use the physically unable to perform designation at the start of training camp rather than injured reserve, reflecting his inability to practice at that time. After that initial placement, the team moves him to injured reserve, confirming the injury status as the regular season approaches.
The reports agree that Robertson-Harris’s Achilles injury occurs during offseason workouts and that the injury is significant enough to keep him off the active roster. The Giants also sign two players to fill roster needs created by the roster move. Details about the specific signings are not included in the provided excerpts.
Overall, both outlets describe the same underlying injury—a torn Achilles—and the Giants’ corresponding roster management decisions as they transition from preseason preparation to the next stage of the season.
