Giants Add Rookie Kicker Ben Sauls to Practice Squad as Kicking Turmoil Deepens

Questions at practice intensified when Younghoe Koo was not seen Wednesday.

Overview

  • New York signed undrafted rookie Ben Sauls to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to reports from NFL Network and ESPN.
  • The Giants now have four kickers in-house: injured Graham Gano on the 53-man roster, Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney on the practice squad, and Sauls newly added.
  • Reporter Dan Duggan noted that neither Gano nor Koo was spotted at Wednesday’s practice after Koo made all of his field goals and extra points in Week 10.
  • McAtamney holds an International Player Pathway exemption on the practice squad and previously missed multiple extra points during his stint as Gano’s replacement.
  • Sauls went undrafted out of Pitt, spent time with the Steelers and Falcons, and converted 81.2% of his college field goals and 98.2% of extra points.
