New York Giants defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris tore his Achilles at Thursday's OTA workout and is expected to miss the entire 2026 season.
ESPN reported the news, citing a source with knowledge of the situation. OTA workouts are voluntary organized team activities held in the spring, before training camp opens.
Achilles tears are among the most serious injuries in professional football. Recovery typically takes at least a year, and the injury effectively ends a player's season before it begins. For Robertson-Harris, it means he will likely miss all of the 2026 campaign while the Giants head into a season with their defensive line now short a key piece.
Robertson-Harris had been working with the team during the offseason program when the injury occurred. No further details about a potential surgery timeline or return date were immediately available beyond the expectation that he will miss the full season.
The Giants now face decisions about how to address the loss on their defensive front heading into training camp.
