Isaiah Hodgins Isaiah Hodgins Shut out to conclude campaign
Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 10:58 PM
Hodgins did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's Week 18 victory over Dallas. He finished the campaign with 10 catches on 19 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown over seven games.
Analysis: Hodgins spent training camp with San Francisco before latching on with Pittsburgh's practice squad in mid-September. He was ultimately signed by the Giants, with whom he had spent most of the previous three campaigns. Hodgins put up a solid 7-99-1 line over his final two contests upon his return but then faded dramatically, catching just three of seven targets for 16 yards over his final five games despite posting an offensive snap share north of 80 percent four times during that span. He's slated to become a free agent and may again begin next season on a practice squad somewhere in the league. |

Jameis Winston Jameis Winston Used sparingly in 2025-26
Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 10:24 PM
Winston completed 37 of 66 pass attempts for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions over three games during the 2025-26 regular season. He added seven rushes for 23 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Winston signed with New York in March, but the team then inked Russell Wilson a few days later and drafted Jaxson Dart in April's NFL Draft, reducing the significance of Winston's signing considerably. The veteran QB did end up making a pair of starts after Wilson was demoted and Dart was sidelined by a concussion, but Winston didn't do much to impress as a passer in those opportunities, and he completed the campaign in a backup role. Winston's contract was a two-year deal, so he could return as Dart's backup next season. |

Russell Wilson Russell Wilson Expects to play next season
Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 2:11 AM
Wilson said Monday that he intends to continue playing in 2026, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis: Wilson endured a rough 2025 campaign after joining the Giants on a one-year contract in March. The veteran signal-caller opened the season atop the depth but ended up lasting just three weeks as the starter, struggling mightily in Week 1 (against Washington) and Week 3 (against Kansas City) around a throwback Week 2 performance versus Dallas during which he threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns. Ironically, Wilson shared Monday that he actually suffered a Grade 2 hamstring tear on the final play of practice the Friday prior to the game against the Cowboys, per Hughes, making his monster performance all the more remarkable. Ultimately, Wilson appeared in just three more games following his demotion, completing four of nine passes for 53 yards and rushing twice for 12 yards in a backup role behind rookie Jaxson Dart before falling to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart (behind Dart and Jameis Winston) late in the campaign. Wilson is slated to be a free agent, and while his options are limited if he wants to have a chance to earn a starting role, there are a few NFL teams with shaky enough quarterback rooms to potentially give him that opportunity. |

Tanner Conner Tanner Conner Signs future deal with Big Blue
Mon, Jan 5, 2026, 8:09 PM
Conner reverted to the Giants' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with New York on Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Conner spent the majority of the 2025 campaign with the Dolphins on both the active roster and practice squad and logged nine catches (on 15 targets) for 91 yards across nine regular-season games with Miami. He was cut by the Dolphins in mid-December but quickly found a home with the Giants' on the practice squad, and he was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cowboys, though he didn't end up playing a single snap. Conner will stay with the Giants and participate in offseason activities with the hopes of earning a spot on the team's 53-man roster for the 2026 season. |

Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson On mend from fractured ribs
Mon, Jan 5, 2026, 9:32 AM
Robinson said Monday that he fractured his ribs in the first half of the Giants' Week 17 win over the Raiders, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Despite the injury, he finished the game in order to meet his goal of reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the season. Robinson achieved the feat, finishing the 2025 season with a 92-1,014-4 line on 140 targets over 16 appearances before the Giants placed him on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys in Week 18. Robinson's fractured ribs should be fully healed by the time OTAs get underway in the spring, but whether the 25-year-old will remain with the Giants has yet to be determined. He's slated for unrestricted free agency this spring and could be a sought-after commodity for teams seeking an upgrade at slot receiver. |

Cam Skattebo Cam Skattebo Targeting return for camp
Mon, Jan 5, 2026, 8:55 AM
Skattebo (ankle) said Monday that his long-term goal is to be back to full health by the start of training camp in late July, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Analysis: His rookie season came to an end in Week 8 due to a dislocated right ankle that required surgery, but Skattebo is progressing well in his recovery. He said he has no plans of rushing things to make it back on the field for OTAs in the spring, however. Given the severe nature of his injury, Skattebo isn't guaranteed to be ready for the start of camp either, but the Giants should have a clearer idea of where the running back stands once he starts ramping up the intensity of his rehab. Skattebo's role in 2026 will hinge on how quickly he can regain his pre-surgery explosiveness. The Arizona State product was dynamic as both a runner and a pass-catcher over his eight appearances, accounting for 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries with 207 receiving yards and two more scores on 24 catches. |

Daniel Bellinger Daniel Bellinger Secures touchdown in win
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 9:47 PM
Bellinger caught both of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bellinger was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight week, most notably notching a 29-yard score in the second quarter. The tight end will finish his fourth year in New York having caught 19 of 26 targets for a career-high 286 yards and two scores over 16 regular-season contests. Bellinger will be a free agent this offseason and considering that the Giants appear to have found their long-term starter in Theo Johnson (illness), Bellinger may not return to New York next year. The 25-year-old has yet to exceed 30 catches in an NFL campaign, likely limiting potential interest in him on the open market. |

Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Four catches in season finale
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 9:38 PM
Slayton caught four of nine targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over Dallas.
Analysis: Slayton was able to reel in at least four passes for the first time since Week 15 and the fifth time overall this season. The wide receiver will finish his seventh campaign in New York having caught 37 of 64 targets for 538 yards and one touchdown over 14 regular-season contests. Slayton will enter the offseason as a free agent, and his 14.5 yards per reception this year will likely attract some potential new suitors ahead of the 2026 campaign. |

Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Reaches end zone in victory
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 9:28 PM
Singletary rushed nine times for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Singletary was limited to his fewest rushing yards since Week 15, but he was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, punching it in for a six-yard score in the fourth quarter. The running back has now completed his second campaign in New York having turned 119 carries into 437 yards and five touchdowns while reeling in 18 of 19 targets for 151 yards over 17 regular-season contests. Singletary will enter the 2026 season in a crowded backfield with Tyrone Tracy and Cam Skattebo (ankle). |

Gunner Olszewski Gunner Olszewski Career-best 102 rec yards in win
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 4:24 PM
Olszewski caught eight of nine targets for 102 yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He also had two punt returns for 31 yards.
Analysis: Olszewski worked as the top option in the Giants' receiving corps as they played without Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) in the season finale. The 29-year-old Olszewski hadn't exceeded two catches or 39 receiving yards in any of his previous 80 regular-season NFL games. The pending unrestricted free agent added some nice offensive film to show prospective suitors in free agency, but Olszewski's contributions are typically limited to special teams. |

Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Tosses two TDs in Week 18 win
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 4:09 PM
Dart completed 22 of 32 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes his rookie season with 2,272 passing yards and a 15:5 TD:INT, as well as 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in 14 games (12 starts).
Analysis: Dart showed plenty of promise in his rookie campaign, thriving as a runner and making many impressive throws despite working with an injury-riddled supporting cast. He threw touchdown passes of 29 yards to Daniel Bellinger and 13 yards to Tyrone Tracy as the Giants notched their fourth and final win of the 2025 regular season. The Giants will have an early pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they are unlikely to draft a quarterback, so Dart's expected to head into his sophomore season as the team's starter under center. |

Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Career-high 159 scrimmage yards
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 3:32 PM
Tracy rushed 18 times for 103 yards and lost a fumble while catching eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes the 2025 season with 740 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, as well as 36 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets.
Analysis: Tracy capped his sophomore season with a career-high 159 scrimmage yards as the Giants notched their fourth win of the campaign. Rookie fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo established himself as the lead back prior to dislocating his ankle in Week 8, but Tracy figures to maintain a substantial role in the Giants' 2026 backfield regardless of how Skattebo's recovery goes. Tracy has exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons. |

Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Won't play Week 18
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 10:57 AM
Hyatt (illness) is inactive for Sunday's clash versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Hyatt dealt with an illness this week and won't be able to suit up for New York's season finale. He'll end a thoroughly disappointing campaign with a paltry five catches on 14 targets for 35 yards with no touchdowns. Hyatt also collected 111 kick-return yards, though all of those came in one game (Week 9 against San Francisco). The Tennessee product is under contract with New York for one more year but may not be retained by the team next season given his poor performance over the past two campaigns. |

Ryan Miller Ryan Miller Not playing Sunday
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 10:44 AM
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants claimed Miller off waivers from Tampa Bay on Dec. 11, but they won't end up deploying him for any game action. The third-year wideout will finish the campaign having played in 13 contests (all with the Buccaneers), tallying two catches on four targets for 34 yards and a touchdown. Of Miller's 14 career NFL catches, three have gone for a score. |

Tanner Conner Tanner Conner Elevated for Week 18
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 7:01 PM
Conner was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Conner joined the Giants' practice squad in mid-December after being let go by Miami multiple times. He should have the chance to be active with Theo Johnson (illness) ruled out, though Conner will likely be buried on the depth chart. |
|
Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson Signed to active roster
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 5:35 PM
The Giants signed Gipson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Gipson signed with the Giants' practice squad after being waived by the Eagles, and the wide receiver will get his first shot with his new NFC East team in Week 18. The 24-year-old is set to be the secondary kick and punt returner behind Gunner Olszewski, and he will likely see most of his reps Sunday with the special-teams unit. |

Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Moves to IR
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 3:28 PM
The Giants placed Robinson (ribs) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Robinson wasn't able to practice during Week 18 prep due to a rib injury before New York ruled him out for Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys. He thus finishes the 2025 campaign with 92 catches (on 140 targets) for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns, much of it without 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers following his torn ACL from Week 4. Robinson is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and likely will be coveted coming off back-to-back 90-plus-catch seasons. |

Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Could play Sunday
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 2:52 PM
Hyatt (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Hyatt upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited practice Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for Sunday's season finale. The 2023 third-round pick from Tennessee has had a disappointing 2025 campaign, appearing in eight games and catching catching five of 14 targets for 35 yards. If active Sunday, Hyatt is expected to play a depth role in the Giants' receiving corps. |

Theo Johnson Theo Johnson Out again
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 1:44 PM
Johnson (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Johnson didn't practice this week and will now miss a second straight game to close out his second pro season. He played in each of the first 15 games, catching 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson probably did enough to keep his starting job in 2026, but things can always change if the Giants fall in love with a free agent or draft pick. |

Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Ruled out
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 1:41 PM
Robinson (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson is scheduled for free agency in March after posting the first 1,000-yard season of his career. There's no indication his injury is serious, and the Giants likely will make a run at re-signing Robinson before he can hit the open market this spring. For Week 18, New York's top receiving options will be WRs Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins and TE Daniel Bellinger. |
