- Giants lose third player to Achilles injury this offseason
The New York Giants are having some rough luck this offseason when it comes to injuries.
On Friday, the news broke that the Giants' wide receiver Gunner Olszewski went down with a non-contact injury in practice and had to be carted off the field. Reports indicate the team fears the injury is a torn Achilles tendon, and he is undergoing further testing to confirm the injury.

"That was a non-contact change in direction kind of a deal on the grass there," coach John Harbaugh said . "So that was disappointing."
Does Gunner Olszewski's injury raise questions about Giants head coach John Harbaugh's coaching approach?
If Olszewski's injury is a torn Achilles, it will mark the third player to go down for the Giants with that specific issue this spring, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris last week and undrafted rookie Thaddeus Dixon earlier this offseason. This is notable as it has come at the beginning of Harbaugh's tenure with the Giants after Ravens wideout Zay Flowers called his former coach out for running practices that were too physically demanding.

"We're doing 1-on-1 Week 17... Lowkey, that's why we had a lot of injuries because of how we practiced," Flowers said on the 4th & South podcast recently.
