Giants Signed Olshevski After Ford-Vita Injury

• Bryce Ford-Vita received an Achilles injury during training.
• Giants signed Ganner Olshevski as a replacement.
• Ford-Vita promises to return after rehabilitation.

New York Giants announced that defensive lineman Bryce Ford-Vita was placed on injured reserve after suffering an Achilles injury, which he sustained during training on July 27, 2025. The injury occurred without contact, and after Ford-Vita attempted to get back on the field, he felt the seriousness of the situation and was carted off the field.

Ford-Vita, 25, previously returned last season after a previous injury to his knee and played an important role in special teams. Coach Brian Dabol expressed his feelings regarding the injury to the player, noting that his dedication and work ethic deserve attention.

After the injury, Ford-Vita shared his experiences on social media, stating that it is difficult for him, but he is determined to return. "I am not complaining about why this happened to me, but I promise that I will not give up," he wrote.

In place of Ford-Vita, the Giants signed veteran Ganner Olshevski, who previously played for New York and was known for his work in special teams. Olshevski is again joining the team after last year's injury.

This situation left not only a roster change but also an emotional vacuum in the team, as Ford-Vita was recognized as a leader among the players.
