Giants Elevate Younghoe Koo as Graham Gano’s Neck Injury Clouds Week 10

A herniated cervical disc pressing on his spinal cord kept Gano out of practice all week, leaving Koo to step in against Chicago.

Overview

  • New York officially elevated Younghoe Koo from the practice squad on Saturday to handle kicking duties against the Bears.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll said he assumes Koo will kick after Graham Gano did not practice Wednesday through Friday.
  • Gano disclosed a herniated neck disc this week, received a spinal injection on Wednesday and remained unable to work on the field.
  • The Giants worked out rookie Ben Sauls as an additional contingency while Jude McAtamney stayed on the practice squad.
  • McAtamney missed three extra points during his earlier stint, including two in a 33-32 loss at Denver, highlighting ongoing instability at the position.
