Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris of the New York Giants tore his right Achilles on Thursday during team OTAs, multiple outlets reported Friday.
The injury occurred as he was rushing the passer in an 11-on-11 drill, according to The Athletic.
Robertson-Harris, 32, was a reliable contributor for the Giants last season after signing a two-year, $9 million contract. He started all 17 games and had 35 tackles and six quarterback hits.
He played 56% of the defensive snaps behind only Dexter Lawrence, who was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals in April. The Giants received the No. 10 pick of the 2026 draft, used to select offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa from Miami.
Robertson-Harris is a nine-year NFL veteran, having played with the Chicago Bears (2017-20), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021-24) and Seattle Seahawks (2024) before signing with the Giants.
He has appeared in 134 games (79 starts) and recorded 246 tackles, 73 quarterback hits and 19 sacks.
The Giants signed veteran defensive linemen Shelby Harris and DJ Reader earlier this year and will need Darius Alexander and Bobby Jamison-Travis to be ready to play.
Alexander was a third-round draft pick in 2025, and the Giants selected Jamison-Travis in the sixth round this year.
