The New York Giants sign wide receiver and return specialist Braxton Berrios as they address a special-teams need created by an injury. The Athletic reports that the move comes as a replacement for kick returner Gunner Olszewski, who suffers a torn Achilles last week. New York Post coverage similarly describes Berrios as a veteran addition who can contribute, particularly on special teams, where he has performed as a returner.
Both outlets note that the signing does not include a reunion with former Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. Instead, Beckham remains a free agent, with the Giants choosing to add Berrios rather than wait for or pursue a return in the short term. The reporting focuses on the roster and personnel decision for the upcoming season rather than additional contract details, situating the Berrios signing primarily as a response to Olszewski’s injury and an effort to strengthen the Giants’ return game.
