Head coach Brian Daboll announced that defensive lineman Timmy Horne suffered a torn Achilles on Saturday night. Horne was injured on the first play from scrimmage in Saturday night’s 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets.

Horne was a backup along the line behind Rakeem Nunez-Roches.

Horne, 26, was an undrafted free agent out of Kansas State back in 2022 by the Atlanta Falcons.

The Giants signed Horne off the Falcons’ practice squad last December.
