Wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton, a core special teamer who played 14 games for the Giants last season, suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's training camp practice at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
Coach Brian Daboll confirmed the news while speaking to the media Monday morning.
It is the second serious injury in three seasons for Ford-Wheaton, who tore his ACL in the final preseason game of 2023 as an undrafted rookie out of West Virginia. The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder rehabbed all the way back to making the 53-man roster last season and played 286 snaps on special teams, the most of any player on offense and third-most on the entire roster.
The biggest one of those plays occurred in Week 5 at Seattle, where Isaiah Simmons blocked Jason Myers' 47-yard field goal attempt that would have tied the game with a minute remaining. Ford-Wheaton picked up the ball and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown.
It was the first time he touched the ball in his NFL career.
