Giants make moves before Sunday’s game with Washington
The New York Giants, in a move that had been anticipated for several days, on Saturday placed wide receiver/kick returner Gunner Olszewski on injured reserve.
Olszewski suffered a groin injury in pre-game warmups before last week’s season-opening gam against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Brian Daboll said during the week that Olszewski would be sidelined for “weeks.” Thus, placing him on IR was anticipated.
The Giants signed wide receiver/returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette during the week to handle punt returns.
The Giants on Saturday also elevated two players from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders — linebackers Tomon Fox and Ty Summers.
Summers, a special teams player, was also elevated last week and helped the Giants down a punt at the 1-yard line.
Fox is in his third season. He played in 16 games in 2022 and just one last year. Fox takes the spot that had gone to Carter Coughlin a week ago. Coughlin is now on practice squad/injured and out for the season.
