Braxton Berrios: Reverts to Big Blue's practice squad
Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Berrios played five offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps in the contest, returning two punts for 12 yards and two kicks for 57 yards. The wide receiver has been the primary returner for the Giants through the first three games of the 2026 regular season, but is now out of active roster elevations. If the team wants Berrios to play returner in Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, they will need to sign the 30-year-old to the active roster.

Giants' Braxton Berrios: Elevated for Sunday's game
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 after 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.

Braxton Berrios: Heading back to practice squad
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.

Giants' Braxton Berrios: Elevated for MNF
The Giants elevated Berrios from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
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.

Braxton Berrios: Shifts back to practice squad
Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.
The wide receiver saw action on 12 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in New York's 28-20 win over Dallas on Sunday night, making two fair catches on punts and returning one kickoff for 28 yards. He was elevated for the game primarily to serve as a return specialist. It remains to be seen if Berrios will stay in that role, though he's filled it consistently across an eight-year NFL career.

Giants' Braxton Berrios: Gets elevated from practice squad
The Giants elevated Berrios from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Berrios was among New York's roster cuts Aug. 30, but he found himself back on the team's practice squad one day later, with an expectation that he'd have a Week 1 role. If Malik Nabers (knee) is inhibited or not able to suit up Sunday night, Berrios could be a factor on offense, but his most likely path to snaps is as a returner, as he's averaged 24.9 yards per kick return and 11.3 yards per punt return during his seven-year career.

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.
