The New York Giants have signed wide receiver and returner Gunner Olszewski to their practice squad. Olszewski, who was an All-Pro with the New England Patriots in 2020, was recently released by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

ESPN's Jordan Ranaan provides insight into the Giants' backfield situation with Saquon Barkley sidelined.
