NFL Catchup: Cowboys-Saints Fights, A Christian McCaffrey Update & Deals Were Made

Let go by Giants Smith-Schuster (knee) was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster, who has been dealing with a knee issue, had been a candidate to secure a depth role in New York's WR corps, but the team will move forward with the likes of Odell Beckham, Isaiah Hodgins, Braxton Berrios and Jalin Hyatt (ankle/leg), who are likely competing for the last one or two spots on the depth chart behind the roster locks. In a corresponding move, the Giants signed RB Najee Harris.

Will be released by Giants The Giants are expected to release Smith-Schuster, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The impending signing of veteran RB Najee Harris necessitates a corresponding transaction, and Smith-Schuster's roster spot appears to be in danger. Smith-Schuster has been dealing with a knee injury for nearly two weeks that sidelined him for Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, so it remains to be seen if New York will cut him with some sort of injury designation.

Not playing Saturday Smith-Schuster (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster is still nursing the knee injury he suffered early in training camp. The wide receiver has no clear return timeline, meaning Odell Beckham and Isaiah Hodgins will likely see a higher share of snaps throughout the preseason.

Still nursing knee issue Smith-Schuster (knee) did not participate during the Giants' training camp practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster missed practice earlier on in camp because of the lingering knee injury as well, and it's not clear when he'll be fully healthy again. Any additional time he misses could mean an uptick in reps for veteran Odell Beckham and Isaiah Hodgins.

Returns to practice Smith-Schuster (knee) participated at the Giants' training camp practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster was sidelined with knee swelling Tuesday, but it evidently was only a minor issue. He's in competition for one of the last spots on a wide receiver depth chart that looks relatively thin behind Pro Bowler Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton.

Bothered by swollen knee Smith-Schuster missed Tuesday's practice because of a swollen knee, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old is competing for one of the final spots on New York's roster this summer. An absence could free up extra snaps for the likes of Isaiah Hodgins, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham.

Signing with Giants The Giants are slated to sign Smith-Schuster, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Along with Smith-Schuster, the Giants are in line to add Odell Beckham and Braxton Berrios, adding depth to a WR corps that's led by Malik Nabers (knee), when healthy. In 17 regular-season games with the Chiefs in 2025, Smith-Schuster put up a 33/345/1 receiving line on 45 targets, and with New York, the 29-year-old will have an opportunity to compete with Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, Malachi Fields, Isaiah Hodgins and Odell Beckham for targets that don't go Nabers' way.

Two grabs to close out season Smith-Schuster reeled in both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 14-12 defeat to Las Vegas.

Impact Smith-Schuster saw some run early in the season while Rashee Rice was suspended and again at the end with Rice out for the season due to injury, but he also tallied just four catches for 27 yards over seven games in the middle of the season. The veteran wideout finished with only 33 grabs for 345 yards and one touchdown overall and hasn't hit paydirt more than three times in a season since 2020. Smith-Schuster inked just a one-year deal with KC prior to the season, so he'll head into the offseason looking for another deal, whether with the Chiefs or elsewhere.

JANUARY 5 • Associated Press

Trio of grabs in loss Smith-Schuster brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Impact Smith-Schuster finished tied for second in receptions and as the runner-up in receiving yards as well, although on a night when Chris Oladokun threw for only 66 yards, that didn't equate to any usable fantasy production. Nevertheless, Thursday marked Smith-Schuster's most productive all-around game in two months, as he hadn't exceeded one reception or 12 receiving yards in any of the previous seven games. Smith-Schuster and the rest of the Chiefs' passing attack will retain a muted fantasy outlook for a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders with Oladokun under center.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

One grab in loss Smith-Schuster caught one of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.

Impact With fellow wide receiver Rashee Rice (concussion) sidelined, Smith-Schuster played 41 of the Chiefs' 45 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. Despite his increased playing time, the veteran wideout was unable to have much of an impact against the Titans while the Kansas City offense struggled without Patrick Mahomes (knee) at the helm. Smith-Schuster's four targets were his most since Week 4, but the 29-year-old remains difficult to trust as the season winds down in what should be an underwhelming aerial attack with Chris Oladokun at quarterback with both Mahomes and Gardner Minshew (knee) on injured reserve. Next up for the Chiefs is a Week 17 matchup against the Broncos.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Comes up empty in Week 15 Smith-Schuster didn't haul in his lone target during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Smith-Schuster saw an increase in his snap share Sunday, with Hollywood Brown (personal) out of commission and Tyquan Thornton leaving with a possible concussion. Even so, the veteran wideout wasn't a factor in the offense, and now starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes is done for the year due to a torn ACL. There's little to like about Smith-Schuster's fantasy profile the rest of the way in 2025.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal output versus Houston Smith-Schuster reeled in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to Houston.

Impact Smith-Schuster ranked third among wideouts in terms of offensive snap share in Sunday's contest, but that amounted to just a 38 percent share. The veteran has claimed no more than one pass in any of the last five contests and has just one touchdown on the ledger in 2025, so he can safely be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy formats.
