The Giants suffer their first injury of the regular season
The New York Giants suffered their first injury of the 2024 regular season as receiver and special teams ace Gunner Olszewski has been ruled out with a groin injury.
The injury was suffered during warm-ups prior to kick-off of the Giants Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Olszewski originally suffered a groin injury in the Giants’ second preseason game against the Houston Texans and he had been working his way back from the injury since then. He was listed as having practiced on a limited basis during the week leading up to this game. The injury is likely a re-injury and a setback in his recovery but is being reported as an “injury” at this time.
It remains to be seen who will take over for Olszewski as the primary returner, though receivers Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson are listed as the second and third-team returners on the Giants’ official depth chart. The team could also turn to rookie running back Tyrone Tracy, who’s listed as the fourth returner.
