The suspense is over for at least one roster spot.

Dominic Zvada will be the Giants' kicker heading into the 2026 season.

Sixteen days before they kick off against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, coach John Harbaugh made the declaration in his postgame press conference following a 23-6 victory over the Jets in the preseason finale. In the game, the undrafted rookie made his closing argument by hitting all three field goal attempts from 53, 46 and 23 yards, in addition to two extra points and handling kickoff duties.

"I thought he did great," Harbaugh said of the former All-American and Big Ten Kicker of the Year from the University of Michigan. "He'll win the job. He'll be the kicker. That was kind of the last step, give him a chance to prove he could do a whole game."

NFL clubs must reduce rosters to a maximum of 53 players from the offseason limit of 90 by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday.

The deadline brought the competition between Zvada and Ben Sauls, a returnee from the Giants' 2025 roster, to a head.

It ended what was originally a three-legged race with former All-Pro Jason Sanders also in the mix, but he was released in early June.

That put Zvada and Sauls under the microscope throughout spring practices, training camp and ultimately the preseason.

Both players performed admirably as they finished the preseason perfect on field goals and extra points.

Zvada made field goals from 53, 46, 43, 32 and 23 yards, and four extra points.

Sauls made from 46, 27 and 37 yards, and one extra point.

"I would say Ben also won a job," Harbaugh said. "He should be kicking in the National Football League based on the fact that if we didn't have Dominic, then Ben would have been the guy. So, I thought he had a great camp as well."

Here's what else you need to know from Harbaugh:

📰 There will still be some suspense around Odell Beckham Jr.'s roster spot as Harbaugh didn't want to get into all 53 players. But the head coach thinks he's done enough to make a roster. "I don't want to like say exactly who's making it right now and not, what the considerations are. And things can happen. But I think I would answer the question yes. I mean, I think he has done enough to make an NFL roster for sure. He's played well, and he's gotten better as his camp's gone along. He deserves credit for that. He's done a really good job with it."

📰 On not playing some starters, including Jaxson Dart, who will now go nearly a month between games: "The concern is that they won't have played in a game for a long time. So, will there be a rust factor, those kinds of things. We're just going to have to make sure we do everything we can in practice to make sure our guys are sharp and ready to go. But we just decided to go that route and probably take the more conservative route. That's what we chose."

Harbaugh added, "We have to make sure the practices are the kind of practices that put pressure on him as much as possible. So, as game-like as we possibly can make them, so he's ready to go."

📰 Harbaugh has been thinking about the opener against Dallas for a long time. It didn't just begin with the end of the preseason. "I mean, it's not like it doesn't all of a sudden start now. We've been game planning for Dallas and the Rams and the Titans and the Cardinals. Those first four games you kind of look at in terms of your preparation, even during training camp."

📰 Running back Najee Harris "looked good." They wanted to get the former Pro Bowl running back "a lot of reps" in his first game back from a torn Achilles.

📰Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. dealt with a stinger in the game, so he "should be OK going forward."

📰 On Passing Game Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach Brian Callahan calling plays for one night: "Just an opportunity to change it up a little bit, and I guess we could say you never know. You never know if something happens. If Nags (Offensive Coordinator Matt Nagy) can't make it to the game, gets caught in North Jersey traffic or something like that, we might need Cally (Passing Game Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach Brian Callahan) to do it. But that was just something different. Last week we had (Defensive Pass Coordinator/Secondary Coach) Donald D'Alesio call the defenses a little bit, so I think it's a pretty standard thing to do in preseason."
