The New York Giants signed center Brenden Jaimes on August 7, 2026, following a series of injuries during training camp. Starting center John Michael Schmitz is expected to enter the concussion protocol after a hard hit, while backup Lucas Patrick is dealing with a knee injury. Jaimes, a former fifth-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers, adds depth after spending his initial seasons with the Chargers and a stint with the New England Patriots in 2025. In a separate move, the Giants waived cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse due to a knee injury, continuing to adjust their roster amidst these challenges.
