Story summary

Braxton Berrios, a receiver and return specialist for the New York Giants, announced on his 31st birthday that he is undergoing season-ending surgery due to an injury sustained during Sunday's game against Arizona. The injury, which affected his foot or ankle while returning a punt, has ended Berrios' season prematurely, mirroring similar setbacks in two of his last three seasons. In just four games this year, Berrios had zero catches on one target, four punt returns, and five kickoff returns before being sidelined. Charlie Jones is expected to take over Berrios’ roles going forward. Coach John Harbaugh stated earlier that the team was evaluating Berrios' status prior to needing to decide whether to place him on injured reserve. With his contract now expiring, Berrios will be a free agent for next season.
