Giants consider roster changes with defensive tackle Leki Fotu
Summary

The New York Giants are evaluating their defensive tackle position as they prepare for the 2026 season. Darius Alexander is expected to remain, while Roy Robertson-Harrison may be headed to injured reserve. The Giants traded Dexter Lawrence and selected Bobby Jamison-Travis in the draft, while also acquiring veterans DJ Reader, Shelby Harris, and Leki Fotu. There is debate over whether to keep Fotu, who has struggled to make an impact, over rookie Anquin Barnes Jr., who has shown potential during camp.
