Giants Expected to Turn to Younghoe Koo as Graham Gano Deals With Herniated Neck Disc

Graham Gano’s spinal cord–compressing neck injury has New York preparing a practice‑squad elevation for Sunday in Chicago.

Overview

  • Head coach Brian Daboll said he assumes Younghoe Koo will handle kicking duties against the Bears, pending final post‑practice evaluations.
  • Graham Gano was diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc pressing on his spinal cord, received a spinal injection, and did not practice all week.
  • Jude McAtamney, who filled in earlier and missed multiple extra points in a one‑point loss at Denver, remains on the practice squad behind Koo.
  • The Giants worked out free agent Ben Sauls this week as an additional contingency at kicker, according to multiple reports.
  • Gano said he has received abusive and threatening messages tied to sports betting, which have been tracked by Giants and NFL security for years.
