Smith-Marsette will take on the Giants punt returner role starting this weekend.
The last thing New York Giants special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial wanted to see on Sunday was punt returner Gunner Olszewski reinjure his groin.
But with Olszewski set to miss weeks following his setback, and with the team likely realizing that receiver Darius Slayton might not be the best option given his importance on offense, the Giants are turning to Ihmir Smith-Marsette, signed to the roster this week following a successful tryout.
