NYG Roy Robertson-Harris
NFL player. Position: DL. Team: NYG.
Quick Facts
- Position: DL (Defensive Lineman)
- Team: NYG (New York Giants)
2026 Outlook
Out for the season. Torn Achilles tendon at OTAs (May 2026) will sideline him for the entirety of the 2026 campaign. The injury removes a projected depth option along the Giants' defensive line, already thin after the trade of Dexter Lawrence II to Cincinnati. Without Robertson-Harris and Lawrence, the Giants' run defense faces serious vulnerability—they were gashed for 2,470 rushing yards in 2025 (second-most in league behind only Lawrence's new team, the Bengals). The Giants' pass-rush depth doesn't offset this major weakness up front. (per NFL injuries from OTAs that will have the biggest impact on the 2026 season)
Role / Depth Chart
Defensive lineman in Giants' front four rotation.
Injury Status
Tore Achilles tendon approximately 3 weeks before June 12 minicamp (early June 2026). Unlike WR Gunner Olszewski and RB Thaddeus Dixon, who also tore Achilles tendons and were placed on injured reserve, the Giants have kept Robertson-Harris on the active roster, indicating belief he could return this season. Head coach John Harbaugh stated: "There's a chance Roy could get back, actually. With Roy's situation, time frame-wise, there's a chance he could get back late in the season. We're going to try to hold off on that if we can." (per 5 New York Giants injuries that could define their summer)
