Sam Roberts: Released with injury settlement
The Giants released Roberts (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Roberts is a four-year NFL veteran, so he is not subject to waivers and is automatically a free agent. If the defensive tackle wishes to sign with another franchise in 2026, he will need to focus on recovering from whatever issue he is suffering from first.

Roberts (undisclosed) was not present for the start of Giants' voluntary offseason workouts Tuesday after undergoing surgery for an undisclosed injury this offseason, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Roberts signed with the G-Men last month after spending the 2025 season with the Falcons. He appeared in five regular-season games last season but missed the final eight weeks with a knee injury, though it's unclear if the surgery was related to that injury.

Giants' Sam Roberts: Joins forces with G-Men
Roberts (knee) agreed to terms Monday on a one-year contract with the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Roberts suited up for five regular-season games with Atlanta in 2025, in which span he recorded a career-high 18 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sack. The 2022 sixth-round pick now will provide depth at defensive tackle behind Dexter Lawrence for New York.

Falcons' Sam Roberts: Won't play Monday
Roberts (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Roberts had his 21-day practice window opened Friday, but he's not yet ready to get back on the field for game action. His final chance to retake the field during the 2025 campaign will come during Atlanta's regular-season finale against the Saints in Week 18.

Falcons' Sam Roberts: Gets go-ahead to practice
Roberts (knee) was officially designated for return to practice from Atlanta's injured reserve list Friday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Roberts had been unable to take the field at all since suffering an injury to his leg in Week 10 at Indianapolis, but he was able to participate at practice in a limited capacity Friday. The transaction means Atlanta could activate him to play as soon as Monday versus the Rams, but the team will likely wait to evaluate his activity at practice Saturday before making that call.

Falcons' Sam Roberts: Moved to IR
The Falcons placed Roberts (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Roberts suffered an ankle injury in this past Sunday's loss to Indianapolis, and the issue is serious enough to cause him to sit out at least the next four games. Roberts had been working in a rotational role prior to getting hurt, notching between a 30 percent and 43 percent defensive snap share each of the previous four weeks. Atlanta signed defensive lineman Kentavius Street to the active roster to take Roberts' place in a corresponding move.

Falcons' Sam Roberts: Won't play vs. Panthers
Roberts (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus Carolina, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Roberts left the game early in Week 10 at Indianapolis with a leg injury, and now he'll have to sit out at least one week as he recovers. If 2024 fourth-rounder Brandon Dorlus (oblique) can go Sunday, he might be in line for an expanded role on the defensive line with Roberts out.

Falcons' Sam Roberts: Departs with ankle injury
Roberts was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin in the first quarter due to an ankle injury and is considered questionable to return, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Roberts registered one tackle before checking out of the game due to the injury. The fourth-year nose tackle typically handles a rotational role along the Atlanta defensive line, as he's played less than 50 percent of the snaps in each of his prior four appearances on the season.

Falcons' Sam Roberts: Sacks Allen in 2025 debut
Roberts registered four tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Atlanta's 24-14 win over Buffalo on Monday.
The 2022 sixth-rounder registered the first sack of his four-year NFL career early in the fourth quarter. Roberts was a healthy scratch for the Falcons' first four games of the regular season but was active for Monday's contest due to LaCale London being sidelined with a triceps injury. Roberts ended up playing 23 snaps on defense and could serve in a rotational role for the Falcons' Week 7 road tilt against the 49ers if London is not cleared to play.
