No one should pretend Bryce Ford-Wheaton was going to be some kind of offensive juggernaut. He's a back-of-the-depth-chart, special teams guy. But his loss matters. The guy was quietly one of the New York Giants' most electric special team players, and after his brutal Achilles tear on Sunday, the door’s now open for someone else to fill in and replace him.
New York almost instantly turned to an old friend for some reassurance. Gunner Olszewski is a known commodity, especially in the return game, and he obviously wouldn’t be back in the building if the G-Men didn’t believe he could help out the special teams unit.
