New York Giants defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris tore his Achilles tendon during organized team activities on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The league site said the injury occurred during the Giants’ OTA work on May 22 and added, citing ESPN, that Robertson-Harris is expected to miss the 2026 season. The Giants had not announced a return timetable as of Saturday, May 23. The injury removes a veteran defensive lineman from the club’s offseason rotation before training camp. ### When did Robertson-Harris get hurt, and what has been confirmed? NFL.com reported Friday that Robertson-Harris tore his Achilles during the Giants’ OTA session on Thursday, May 22. The report listed the injury in the league’s daily roundup of team news and said he is expected to miss the 2026 season, per ESPN. Saturday, May 23 is the first full day after that report, and no separate Giants timetable had been posted in the material reviewed. The Giants’ official injury-report page remains the team’s standard location for formal health updates during the season and broader roster tracking. ### Who is Roy Robertson-Harris in the Giants’ front?

Giants.com previously described Robertson-Harris as one of the additions brought in to help fill the spot next to Dexter Lawrence on the defensive line. (nfl.com) In a team offseason feature, the club said finding help alongside Lawrence had been a priority and cited Robertson-Harris among the front office’s moves at the position. (giants.com) That made him part of a veteran group the Giants were using to sort out defensive-line roles in spring practices. OTAs are non-padded sessions, but clubs use them to install schemes and evaluate combinations before minicamp and training camp. The NFL.com report said Robertson-Harris was hurt during that OTA work. ### What does the Achilles injury change right now? The immediate change is that Robertson-Harris is out of participation, based on the NFL.com report. (giants.com) Because the report said he is expected to miss the 2026 season, the Giants will now have to continue offseason work without a veteran lineman they added for depth and experience. The Giants’ current roster page shows other defensive-line options on the team, including Dexter Lawrence and Darius Alexander. (nfl.com) Any formal roster replacement or reserve move would typically appear on the club’s transactions page or league transaction wire. ### Where should readers watch for the next concrete update? The Giants’ official team site and the NFL transaction hub are the clearest next checkpoints for a formal move tied to Robertson-Harris. (nfl.com) NFL.com’s Friday roundup pointed readers to the league’s transaction hub for daily roster changes, and the Giants maintain roster and injury pages on their official site. East Rutherford will remain the setting for the Giants’ spring work as offseason practices continue. (giants.com) The next concrete development is likely to be a roster transaction, an injury designation when applicable, or a team update on Robertson-Harris’ recovery status. (nfl.com)
