News
- The Giants signed Berrios off their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
After failing to win a spot on the Giants' roster coming out of preseason, Berrios re-signed with the organization as a member of the practice squad. The Giants then elevated him from the practice squad ahead of each of their first three games, with Berrios going without a target over 22 snaps on offense but holding a critical role on special teams as the team's kickoff and punt returner. With the Giants releasing Odell Beckham on Tuesday, Berrios will now be awarded a permanent spot on the 53-man roster.
RotoWire via ESPN - Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
Berrios played five offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans, returning two punts for 12 yards and two kickoffs for 57 yards. The veteran wideout has served as the primary returner for the Giants through the first three games of the 2026 season, but since he's been elevated from the practice squad for each of those games, he would need to be signed to the 53-man roster in order to suit up for the team again.
RotoWire via ESPN - The Giants elevated Berrios from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants have elected to expend Berrios' last practice squad elevation, calling upon the wide receiver for three consecutive weeks. The 30-year-old remains the team's primary kick and punt returner, receiving no targets but recording 81 kick-return yards over the past two games. Berrios will need to be signed to the active roster to participate in any more regular-season games for the Giants after Week 3.
RotoWire via ESPN - Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Berrios played only five of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps in Monday's loss, but he was more involved on special teams, recording two fair catches on punts and two kickoff returns for a total of 53 yards. The Giants can elevate him once more this season before they'd have to sign him to their 53-man roster in order to have him suit up.

Berrios will be up from the practice squad for a second consecutive week and is expected to serve as a returner for the Giants on both punts and kickoffs. He played 18 snaps (12 on offense, six on special teams) during the Giants' Week 1 win over the Cowboys, when he returned one kickoff for 28 yards while calling two fair catches on punts.
