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.
