The New York Giants released Braxton Berrios ahead of the 53-man roster announcement, but the wide receiver is heading back to East Rutherford. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Berrios is re-signing with the practice squad, among with other six players including Jake Haener, with the expectation that he will play in the first game.
It will be interesting to see what position John Harbaugh uses him at if needed. According to The Athletic’s Dan Duggan on X, the G-Men don’t have another viable punt returner on the roster, making this a potential role for Berrios.
Fate seems to be bringing both sides back together for the 2026 NFL season. In this league, second chances are often part of the game, and that is exactly what happened with this team, which has serious aspirations of reaching the Super Bowl.
More returns for the Giants
The moves on Harbaugh’s team went beyond the final roster cuts. According to insider Dan Duggan on his X account, six more players are returning to the Giants’ practice squad:

- WR Dalen Cambre
- WR Jalin Hyatt
- S Raheem Layne
- FB Grant Finley
- DL Josh Tupou
- QB Jake Haener
Dalen Cambre has had a strong preparation period alongside the rest of the team, so it makes sense that he has returned, although in a different role. Eventually, the receiving corps will need his help throughout the year, just like Jalin Hyatt, who fought until the very end to earn his spot.
Haener’s situation can be explained by the limited number of quarterbacks New York kept after the final roster cuts. The veteran will now be an option behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston if needed.
How the Giants’ receiving corps shaped up
The wait is finally over, and we now know which players will represent New York in the upcoming NFL season. Odell Beckham Jr. finally earned a spot on the Giants’ 53-man roster, which will feature five talented wide receivers.
