Giants Activate Graham Gano From IR to Handle Kicking vs. Eagles

New York is entrusting the job to the 38-year-old despite recent leg issues, opting against a practice-squad elevation for insurance.

Overview

  • Gano was added to the 53-man roster after a four-week IR stint for a groin injury suffered in Week 3 warmups.
  • He is slated to be the Giants’ only active kicker in Philadelphia after practicing without setbacks this week.
  • The team did not elevate veteran Younghoe Koo from the practice squad despite Gano’s recent injury history.
  • Jude McAtamney, who missed two extra points in the 33-32 loss to Denver, was waived and re-signed to a practice-squad exemption.
  • Corresponding moves included elevating Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Raheem Layne while waiving linebacker Swayze Bozeman.
