New York Giants host a wave of free-agent workouts to bolster a depleted pass catchers group after Malik Nabers’ season-ending ACL injury. Among the hopefuls, Mike Woods II stands out as a cost-efficient, high-upside target with a sturdy frame and proven competitiveness, potentially backing Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Jalin Hyatt. Woods’ combo of size, speed, and route discipline makes him a credible depth piece who could see early reps if he quickly earns trust.

Alongside Woods, Samori Toure, Rakim Jarrett, and Brandon Johnson provide varying floors and ceilings. Toure brings NFL experience and a knack for contributing in multiple roles; Jarrett offers fast-twitch upside; Johnson adds physicality and versatility. The Giants are vetting this trio to complement their core and create a more dynamic, scalable WR rotation behind the top trio as Nabers’ absence stretches the offensive expectations.

Brandon Johnson’s Steelers stint ends with an injury settlement after a foot injury in the Panthers game, freeing him to sign elsewhere once healthy. The 27-year-old was Denver’s UDFA in 2022, surfaced with Pittsburgh in 2024, and logged three appearances with nine yards on one catch last year. His IR removal signals a late-market WR option for teams needing depth, contingent on a healthy return and a favorable landing spot.

The Steelers got two injury updates from Mike Tomlin after their preseason win over Carolina. Derrick Harmon’s knee issue is described as a knee sprain of some description, with Tomlin stressing it isn’t a ligament tear. Brandon Johnson exited with a foot injury and is still being evaluated. With the regular-season opener against the New York Jets arriving in under 20 days, Pittsburgh will weigh recovery timelines and roster implications as they finalize game plans.

Harmon’s status could influence the Steelers’ defensive line rotation early in the season, while Johnson’s status could narrow the receiver group and shift targets within the passing game. Fantasy managers should monitor the team’s updates closely, as losses at key depth positions often ripple into snaps and play-calling in Weeks 1 and 2.
