Berrios, who served as the team's primary kickoff and punt returner while also providing depth as the fourth wide receiver, expressed his frustration regarding the setback. This injury marks the third consecutive season that has been cut short for the receiver due to health issues.
Giants look to internal options for return duties
Following the announcement, the Giants are shifting their focus to internal replacements to fill the void left by Berrios.
Head coach
Reflecting on the roster strategy, Harbaugh noted that the team prefers to look at players already familiar with their system. While the coaching staff plans to evaluate all available options, the preference remains to utilize personnel who have been actively practicing and preparing within the current framework. The Giants recently cleared space on their active roster by releasing Odell Beckham Jr., though a return for the veteran receiver is considered unlikely at this stage.
Berrios, now in his eighth professional season, has previously played for the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and Houston Texans. Throughout his career, he has accumulated 140 receptions for 1,360 yards and six touchdowns, alongside his contributions as a return specialist.
