Overview

  • New York ruled out Graham Gano on Friday and is expected to promote practice-squad addition Younghoe Koo to handle kicks on Sunday.
  • Koo signed to the Giants’ practice squad on Tuesday after the Falcons released him on Sept. 19.
  • He is competing with practice-squad rookie Jude McAtamney as coaches evaluate his work with holder Jamie Gillan and long snapper Casey Kreiter.
  • The 2020 Pro Bowler owns a career field-goal rate in the mid-80s but endured a 73.5% season in 2024, finished that year on injured reserve with a hip injury, and was cut after a missed attempt in the 2025 opener.
  • The Ridgewood, New Jersey, native called the opportunity a homecoming and is 3-for-3 in his only previous game at MetLife Stadium, including a game-winner in 2021.
