The New York Giants signed veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and released kicker Jason Sanders on Tuesday.

Smith-Schuster’s signing ​comes one day after the team ‌added fellow wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios.

With the loss of Sanders, the Giants have two kickers on the roster: second-year pro Ben Sauls ‌and ​undrafted rookie Dominic Zvada.

Smith-Schuster, ⁠29, has a history ⁠with new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who is short on healthy bodies at the position at the moment.

New York ​currently is practicing without injured wideouts Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (core muscle) and Gunner Olszewski (Achilles).

Smith-Schuster ⁠caught 33 passes for ⁠345 yards and one TD ​in 17 games (12 starts) last season with Kansas ​City, where Nagy was the offensive coordinator. ‌He has 481 grabs for 5,624 yards and 33 scores in 121 career games (92 starts) with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England ⁠Patriots and Chiefs.

Sanders, 30, signed with the Giants on March 10 after spending the entire 2025 ⁠season on ‌injured reserve with Miami due to ⁠a hip injury.

Sanders made 84.6% ​of ‌his field-goal attempts (187 of 221) and ​96.6% ⁠of his PATs (259 of 268) in seven seasons and 116 games with the Dolphins, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2018. He was a first-team All-Pro in 2020.
