NY Giants Re-sign WR/PR Gunner Olszewski to Boost Special Teams Depth

The New York Giants have signed wide receiver/special teamer Gunner Olszewski to take the roster spot that opened when Bryce Ford-Wheaton suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Sunday’s practice.

Olszewski has been with the Giants since 2023, when he came in as the punt return specialist. Last season, he suffered a groin injury during camp and spent the entire campaign on the injured reserve list.

The Giants have since turned to Ihmir Smith-Marsette as their return specialist, a position that Olszewski can back up.

The 28-year-old Olszewski played 76 special teams snaps for the Giants in 2023, recording 23 punt returns for 282 yards (11.9 yards per return), seven fair catches, and one return for a touchdown.
