Olszewski signed a one-year deal with the Giants on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The kick and punt returner will return to New York instead of hitting the free-agent market. Olszewski recorded 682 kickoff-return yards and 216 punt-return yards in 2025. He also caught 10 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown as a receiver.

Olszewski caught eight of nine targets for 102 yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He also had two punt returns for 31 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski worked as the top option in the Giants' receiving corps as they played without Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) in the season finale. The 29-year-old Olszewski hadn't exceeded two catches or 39 receiving yards in any of his previous 80 regular-season NFL games. The pending unrestricted free agent added some nice offensive film to show prospective suitors in free agency, but Olszewski's contributions are typically limited to special teams.

Olszewski played just one snap on offense and returned one punt for five yards and three kickoffs for 71 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return to action following a one-game absence due to a concussion, Olszewski wasn't much of a factor on offense but reclaimed his usual duties as the Giants' top punt and kickoff returner. Unless the Giants lose multiple receivers to injury over the final two weeks of the season, Olszewski is likely to continue seeing most of his playing time on special teams.

Olszewski (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old practiced in full throughout the week and has now cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, allowing him to return for Sunday's matchup. Now fully healthy, Olszewski is expected to operate as the Giants' top kick and punt returner in Week 16.

Olszewski (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski logged back-to-back full practices to start the week, an encouraging sign after missing Week 15 due to a concussion suffered in Week 13. The 29-year-old still needs to clear the league's concussion protocol to have any chance to play against Minnesota in Week 16.

Olszewski (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski suffered a concussion in New York's Week 13 loss and missed the team's loss to the Commanders on Sunday, even after a bye week. His return to a full practice is positive, though it's unclear if he's cleared the league's concussion protocol. That will be the necessary final step for him to return for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Olszewski (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski earned the questionable tag for Week 15 after logging a full practice Friday, but it appears he has not progressed through the league's concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play Sunday. In his absence, the Giants will likely turn to Deonte Banks and Devin Singletary for return duties on kickoffs and punts. Olszewski's next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Olszewski (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski was able to upgrade to a limited participant in practice Thursday and then a full participant Friday, signalling his ability to progress through the league's concussion protocol in a timely fashion. The ability to be cleared for full-contact practice implies the returner was able to move past his concussion and will likely play in Sunday's game. If he is unable to go, though, Eric Gray and Devin Singletary will be set to return kicks, and Wan'Dale Robinson will be set to return punts. Olszewski's absence would also possibly allow Jalin Hyatt an opportunity for more offensive snaps at wide receiver.

Olszewski (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski couldn't practice in any capacity, so his limited activity level represents a tangible step in the right direction. Still, Olszewski will need to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol in order to return to the lineup, meaning his status for Sunday's game against the Commanders could come down to the wire. For any chance of being cleared for Week 15, Olszewski will likely need to practice in full Friday.

Olszewski (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olszewski suffered a concussion in Week 13 against New England after taking a big helmet-to-helmet hit on a kick return. Despite New York being on bye last week, the return specialist hasn't yet reached the point that he's ready to practice. Olszewski will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he's able to return to game action, and if he can't play this Sunday versus the Commanders, Devin Singletary, Eric Gray and Jalin Hyatt are candidates to cover his role in the return game.
