Giants TE Levine Toilolo suffered a torn Achilles' at Wednesday's practice and will miss the season.
Toilolo was working off to the side when the Achilles' popped, and he had to be carted to the locker room. The blocking specialist played 275 offensive snaps for the Giants last season. He turned 30 years old last weekend.
Giants restructured TE Levine Toilolo's contract.
Initially set to make $2.95 million this upcoming year, the Giants probably would've moved on from Toilolo altogether had he not agreed to a restructured deal. He'll continue to be used sparingly as the team's third-string option in 2021.
Giants signed TE Levine Toilolo, formerly of the 49ers.
Toilolo (6-8, 268) is expected to fill the void left behind by Rhett Ellison as the team's primary blocking tight end. 29 in July, the eighth-year inline option merely brought in two receptions in that very same role with the Niners just last year.
Toilolo had two receptions for 10 yards over 13 games this season.
Toilolo only saw two targets despite playing 194 offensive snaps. Coach Kyle Shanahan preferred to use the tight end's 6-foot-8, 268 pound frame as a blocker in the 49ers' zone-run scheme. Toilolo's fantasy value only comes as a red-zone target in scenarios where he is higher on the depth chart. The 28-year-old is an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in San Francisco's camp given his familiarity with Shanahan's offense both this year and their time together in Atlanta.
