Braxton Berrios: Released by New York
The Giants released Berrios on Sunday, but the team intends to bring him back for Week 1 action, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Berrios was brought in by the Giants in the middle of the offseason program when a number of serious injuries beset the receiving corps. He ended up making it all the way to cutdown day before getting dismissed, but New York appears poised to add him back -- whether it's on the active roster or practice squad -- before the season opener.

Braxton Berrios: Rejoining Giants on practice squad
Berrios is re-signing with the Giants' practice squad, and there's an expectation that he'll play a role Week 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Berrios was among the Giants' notable cuts Sunday as the team rolled with just five wide receivers on its initial active roster. Now, front offices across the NFL are constructing practice squads, with Berrios expected to end up back in New York. He'll need to be elevated or signed off the practice squad outright to be available for the season opener against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13, at which point he'd likely take on a bit role in the offense.

Giants' Braxton Berrios: Forgettable outing in preseason finale
Berrios (undisclosed) caught one of four targets for 15 yards and lost a fumble in Friday's 23-6 preseason win over the Jets. He also had a 10-yard punt return.
Berrios returned to action after missing the Giants' previous preseason game due to what coach John Harbaugh termed a soft-tissue injury. The veteran WR struggled on offense, losing a fumble on the Jets' four-yard line at the end of his only catch and failing to come down with three other targets. If Berrios makes the 53-man roster, it will be due primarily to his capabilities as a return man on special teams rather than his contributions as a receiver.

Giants' Braxton Berrios: Nursing soft-tissue injury
Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Berrios did not play in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins due to a soft-tissue issue, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
The injury is considered a minor one, so Berrios should be able to practice this week and play in the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets on Friday. The veteran wide receiver signed with the Giants in early June after appearing in four regular-season games for the Texans in 2025. If Berrios makes the Giants' 53-man roster for the regular season, then he is expected to see most of his playing time on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Giants' Braxton Berrios: Joins New York
Berrios signed with the Giants on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Across four regular-season games with the Texans last year, Berrios caught six passes for 37 yards on eight targets. He also recorded 81 kickoff-return yards and 25 punt-return yards. The former Jet and Dolphin may need to find a special-teams role to have a chance to make the G-Men.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Served as a depth option in 2025
Berrios accumulated six receptions for 37 yards on eight targets and added 81 kickoff-return yards and 25 punt-return yards over four regular-season games.
Berrios was called upon for just 60 offensive snaps and 12 special-teams snaps during the 2025 campaign. The wide receiver was utilized by the Texans as a depth option in the absence of key receivers such as Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Berrios enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it's unclear if the Texans will be interested in bringing him back in 2026.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Remaining healthy scratch
Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 clash against the Colts.
This is the third straight week that Berrios is inactive as a healthy scratch. He's gotten some work both as a wideout and kick/punt returner when active this season, but rookie Jaylin Noel has been serving in the same role while offering more upside.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Healthy scratch again Week 12
Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.
Berrios will be inactive for a second straight week with the Texans' wideout corps mostly healthy. Since tallying five catches for 38 yards with a 29 percent offensive snap share against San Francisco in Week 8, Berrios had just one offensive snap across two contests prior to the pair of healthy scratches. He had been working as one of the Texans' top kick returners, but that role will likely be filled by Jaylin Noel and Tremon Smith against the Bills.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Won't play against Tennessee
Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Berrios will observe Sunday's AFC South tilt in street clothes while the Texans go with five active wide receivers in Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Christian Kirk, Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson. Berrios' next opportunity to play is Thursday against Buffalo.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Minimal playing time in win
Berrios was untargeted and returned one kickoff for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.
Berrios, who battled through a chest injury during the preparation for Week 10, was on the field for one snap on offense and five on special teams. The return of injured wideouts like Christian Kirk have marginalized Berrios, who has played just one snap on offense that last two games.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Able to practice in full Thursday
Berrios (chest) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Berrios has been dealing with a chest injury since last week and logged a limited practice this Wednesday. However, he was able to return to a full session Thursday, suggesting that he'll be fine for Sunday's clash against Jacksonville. Berrios has worked as both a depth receiver and a kick/punt returner during the three games during which he has been active this season.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Back on injury report
Berrios (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Berrios was on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos with the same injury. He managed to play after also starting the week with a limited practice, so his ability to play in the Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars doesn't yet appear to be in jeopardy.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Given return duties only
Berrios returned two kickoffs for 49 yards and did not appear on offense in Sunday's 18-15 loss to Denver in Week 9.
After recording five catches in Week 8, when Houston was without Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, Berrios was limited to special-teams-duty Sunday due to the return of the team's top two wideouts. If the Texans' season slips away -- they are 3-5 and outside the playoff picture for now -- any offensive role for the veteran Berrios could disappear, as Houston would likely want to give more looks to rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel instead.

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Green light for Week 9
Berrios (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Berrios has been given the all-clear to play Week 9 after logging a full practice Friday. He played a meaningful role on offense during the Texans' Week 8 win over the 49ers and finished with five catches on as many targets for 38 yards. However, Berrios will likely be limited to a role on special teams for Week 9 due to the returns of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring).

Texans' Braxton Berrios: Limited participant Thursday
Berrios (chest) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
That's two consecutive limited practices for Berrios leading up to Week 9 against Denver. He was a significant performer as a fill-in last week during a win over the 49ers, catching five of five targets for 38 yards, but a repeat effort appears unlikely. Even if healthy and ready to go Sunday, Berrios' usage as a receiver is expected to be curtailed. That's because injured wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom practiced fully Thursday, look like they'll be available.
