Signed to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad after impressing in training camp; played in seven games almost exclusively on special teams last season; caught head coach John Harbaugh's attention with consistent circus catches, strong route running, and special teams execution; Harbaugh stated: 'I see him make a circus catch every single day. And not just that, he's doing all the other things. He's doing special teams. He knows what he's doing. He's running great routes. I think he's making a move. I think he's done a great job and he's got our attention.' Now one of five wide receivers on the Giants roster.PositiveDepth ChartSep 9, 2026
Cambre is the source's preferred candidate to fill the Giants' open 53-man roster spot after Darius Slayton's release. As a second-year player, Cambre would cost less than vested veteran Braxton Berrios, whose salary would be fully guaranteed if signed before Week 1. The source predicts Cambre is the more likely addition, though the Giants might pursue both players for the gameday roster.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
Practice squad wide receiver who impressed in preseason but has played only 16 NFL offensive snaps and does not have an NFL catch; significant gap between summer performance and actual game production creates uncertainty about his ability to contribute if needed.NegativeDepth ChartAug 31, 2026
Dalen Cambre's roster status depends on whether he clears waivers after the Giants' 53-man roster cutdown deadline (Monday 1 p.m. ET). If unclaimed, he becomes eligible for the Giants' practice squad; if claimed by another team during the waiver period, he joins that team's active roster instead.NegativeDepth ChartAug 31, 2026
The receiver and special teams contributor was cut despite having a good camp and preseason performance. The source indicates the Giants didn't want to make this move but Cambre couldn't quite do enough to force the team's hand. He is expected to be a practice squad target for the Giants as a developmental receiver, though he must first survive the waiver wire, which could be difficult given his preseason tape.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Dalen Cambre is projected to be cut from the 53-man roster after being included in the source's previous projection. The source expresses uncertainty about this decision, stating 'I feel like I might regret not including Cambre as a seventh wide receiver.'PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026

Cambre is projected to make the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver over Odell Beckham Jr., selected for his special teams ability. However, New York acknowledges significant uncertainty, noting scenarios where Beckham could be acquired via trade (likely involving Mooney or Slayton), where the Giants keep six wide receivers and neither Beckham nor Cambre makes the roster, or where Mooney is traded and Beckham gets the final spot with Cambre sliding to the practice squad.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
Cambre graded above 70 for the second consecutive week, catching all three balls thrown his way after catching the only pass thrown to him in week one. However, he likely won't survive roster cuts given the crowded wide receiver room, though he has played special teams and could be a practice squad candidate.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
Cambre is in contention for a potential seventh wide receiver roster spot. The source notes he is a special teams first player but keeps showing he can be useful as a receiver when needed, making him a viable alternative to Odell Beckham Jr. for the final receiver spot.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
The second-year wide receiver/special teamer did not enter the game until the second half but made the most of his opportunity; Cambre made the tackle on the opening kickoff of the second half and had three catches on three targets for 26 yards, with all three catches resulting in first downs (8-yard catch on third-and-7, 9-yard catch on third-and-8, and another 9-yard catch on third-and-8).NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
