Overview

  • Bryce Ford-Wheaton suffered a torn Achilles at training camp on July 27, ruling him out for the entire 2025 season.
  • The undrafted receiver, who logged 286 special teams snaps and two offensive snaps in 2024, now faces a lengthy rehab after a prior ACL tear.
  • The Giants have shifted first-team reps to undrafted rookies such as Beaux Collins and Dalen Cambre in both receiving drills and special teams roles.
  • Veteran Zach Pascal is poised to assume Ford-Wheaton’s special teams responsibilities after logging over 200 snaps in that phase each of the past three seasons.
  • With roster cuts approaching, New York must address a thinner wide receiver room as undrafted and veteran players compete for final spots.
