The New York Giants fear wide receiver Gunner Olszewski may have torn his Achilles tendon after going down with a noncontact injury during Friday's OTAs, according to ESPN.
The 29-year-old veteran receiver, who will reportedly undergo tests to confirm the injury, immediately grabbed at his right leg after going down and slammed his fist in apparent frustration while being carted off the field.
'That was a noncontact change in direction kind of a deal on the grass there,' coach John Harbaugh told reporters after practice. 'So that was disappointing.'
Olszewski signed a one-year deal this offseason with the expectation he would continue to serve primarily as a returner but also provide depth at wide receiver. Fellow wide receivers Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (core muscle) are still rehabbing from injuries.
Olszewski had 24 punt returns for 216 yards last season and 26 kickoff returns for 682 yards, while adding 10 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown.
A groin injury caused him to miss all of 2024.
In seven seasons with the New England Patriots (2019-21), Pittsburgh Steelers (2022-23) and Giants, Olszewski has returned 122 punts for 1,386 yards and two touchdowns. He also has 67 kickoff returns for 1,586 yards.
Olszewski also has 25 career receptions for 325 yards and two touchdowns in 81 games (five starts) as a wideout.
