New York Giants Agree to One-Year Deal with Braxton Berrios

Monday, June 1, 9:52 AM

Veteran wide receiver Braxton Berrios has agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Giants, as reported by NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Berrios took part in a Monday morning workout with the team, alongside fellow veterans Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and all three reportedly agreed to deals shortly thereafter. Knee and hamstring injuries have limited Berrios to only 10 games played over the past two seasons with the Dolphins and Texans, but the former All-Pro punt returner offers special teams upside as well as receiver depth should 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers miss any time to begin the year after tearing his ACL in 2025. The Giants have now added six new faces to the receiver room, including veterans Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, and third-round pick Malachi Fields.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. Has Chance to Return Against Rams

Wednesday, October 21, 11:30 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. (hamstring) could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, though head coach Klint Kubiak wants to see more before making a decision. According to Sam Warren, Kubiak acknowledged that Thornton has made encouraging progress during his first two weeks of practice but stressed that he still needs to show he's ready. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during training camp and returned to practice October 7. Thornton has been a full participant throughout both practice weeks but stayed on injured reserve for Las Vegas' last two games. The 2025 fourth-round pick caught just 10 passes for 135 yards in 15 appearances as a rookie. With Tre Tucker coming off a five-catch, 97-yard, two-touchdown performance against Buffalo and Jalen Nailor back in the lineup, Thornton faces plenty of competition for targets even if he's activated.
