Overview
- Graham Gano has been ruled out with a groin injury suffered in pregame warmups, prompting the Giants to tap a practice-squad replacement for Week 4.
- Younghoe Koo signed to New York’s practice squad on Tuesday after the Falcons released him on Sept. 19 following a Week 1 miss and a Week 2 inactive status.
- Koo is competing with Jude McAtamney this week, but multiple reports indicate Koo is likely to handle placekicking against the Chargers.
- Special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial said Koo must quickly sync with holder Jamie Gillan and long snapper Casey Kreiter, though he believes the transition can happen fast.
- A 2020 Pro Bowler with an 85.8% career field-goal rate, Koo grew up in Ridgewood, N.J., and has been perfect at MetLife Stadium in his NFL appearances.
